£20m Hotel Handed Over In Basingstoke
Village Hotels' first new build of the decade has reached completion in Basingstoke.
Willmott Dixon London & South has handed over the new £20.3 million, 7,150 sqm Village Hotel ahead of schedule.
This represents the third Village Hotel Club scheme the firm has constructed on behalf of Village Hotels. To date, Willmott Dixon has delivered 459 rooms for Village Hotels across its three projects at Basingstoke, Bristol and Portsmouth handing the schemes over defect free to the customer one week early, two weeks early and on programme respectively.
The new 153-bedroom, six-storey, four-star hotel and leisure club in Basingstoke forms part of a 31 hotel roll out for Village Hotels in the UK. As per the Village Hotel Club model, Village Hotel Basingstoke includes a Pub & Grill restaurant, Starbucks coffee shop, flexible co-working spaces and conference rooms, as well as a state-of-the-art gym and swimming pool.
Roger Forsdyke, Managing Director of Willmott Dixon London & South, said: "Collaboration was key to successfully delivering Village Hotel Basingstoke and we are delighted to have handed over the building early and defect free. This is testament to our people's expertise in the leisure and hotel sector and their ability to utilise experiences from projects at Portsmouth and Bristol to refine our processes and evolve the design to ensure a smooth handover. Village Hotel Basingstoke will bring a fresh and fantastic new hotel facility to the town, supporting new jobs and providing facilities for local businesses."
Gidi Matlin, Head of Capital Works at Village Hotels, added: "It has been a pleasure to deliver our first new build of the new decade and the third working in partnership with Willmott Dixon. The collaboration and close working relationship with Willmott Dixon, both at a commercial level and at site level, ensures the customer direct fit out can complete smoothly and seamlessly alongside the main construction. Having such a relationship, as well as being handed over a defect free building, is invaluable when it comes to moving the hotel into its operational state. Village Hotels are looking forward to further strengthening its ties with Willmott Dixon when Eastleigh completes later in 2020."
