The boutique hotel, which’s set within eight acres of countryside grounds and holds a 4 AA Red Star rating as well as the 3AA Rosetteawarded Garden Room restaurant, has completed a refurbishment across its communal areas, including the spa brasserie, its main reception and stairwell, and the Austen Room. This multi-purpose area can cater for up to 12 people for private dining and is now equipped with a James Bond-esque motorised wall-mounted ArtTV frame which can alternate between a picture and a TV for meetings, private dining or functions. It complements a separate transformation of the venue’s 21 bedrooms, which was completed in March 2023 – bringing total investment in the hotel to around £1.4 million over the past two years. The Orchard Brasserie, located next to the hotel’s luxurious Elan Spa has welcomed a permanent bar, serving a range of hot and cold beverages. The menu has also been expanded to now offer hot breakfast and evening meals to complement its existing lunch and afternoon tea offerings, and has extended its opening hours from 8 am to 7 pm. The neighbouring manor house also has a new look. The limestone Tudor fireplace in the manor house reception – which is an original feature of the building alongside the oak wall panelling – and the existing wall panelling has been reinvigorated with a mid-tone blue backdrop which, combined with lighting control, creates a consistently warm ambience. Another of the hotel’s oldest features, the stairwell, has also been revitalised with Liberty wallpaper bursting with gold, grey and teal colours which form the main theme of the corridor area. www.thegreenwayhotelandspa.com 16
