The Holiday Inn London Sutton has unveiled a £750,000 refurbishment to transform its public spaces and showcase a brand new Open Lobby concept on the ground floor.
The stylish Open Lobby, designed to provide guests with one multi-faceted public space to eat, meet, relax, socialise and work as they choose, will revolutionise the way guests live and interact at the Sutton hotel. The traditionally separate zones of a reception, lobby, bar, lounge, restaurant and business centre have been merged into one cohesive ‘Open Lobby’ space where guests can operate in a more instinctive, flexible and homely way.
The multi-functioning zones will encourage guests to better utilise all areas and facilities in a way which works around their lifestyles and preferences, allowing them to blend work and leisure seamlessly, which has become a greater demand in recent times. The Open Lobby will also improve interaction between staff and guests as the Front of House reception teams can be more adaptable and accommodating while guests use the space, as well as the multi-skilled team serving the Open Lobby who can meet a wider range of needs.
Key features of the new Open Lobby include free high-speed Wi-Fi, a versatile dining space with a range of seating from booths to high and low tables, a living-room style Media Lounge with comfy seating, games, magazines and TV and an E-Bar where guests can plug-in with lots of power points, a wireless printer and more.
In addition to the Open Lobby refurbishment, the Holiday Inn London Sutton has also undergone a massive conversion that involved changing old function rooms into 23 brand new premium bedrooms. Plus, a newly created meeting room on the ground floor as well.
Callum Duncan, General Manager for the Holiday Inn London Sutton commented: “I’m thrilled to welcome guests to our brand-new Open Lobby space. There are so many options and areas to plug in or switch off, that our business and travel guests will love what we’ve done, and we’ve already seen a pick-up in daytime trade.
“The new Open Lobby will also appeal to local Sutton residents and networking groups as a desirable space to meet up. Customer satisfaction is a top priority for me and my team, and this refurbishment allows us to deliver our best ever service with no barriers between us and our guests”.
The Holiday Inn London Sutton is ideally located, in the heart of the town centre and nearby Sutton station with fast trains to London Victoria in half an hour. On-site parking is available at the hotel, and Gatwick (LGW) and Heathrow (LHR) airports are both under a 45-minute drive away.
A short drive away, you can enjoy horse racing at Epsom Down, the rides and zoo at Chessington World of Adventures, Hampton Court’s maze and palace, or Centre Court tennis at Wimbledon.
The Holiday Inn London Sutton hotel offers welcoming rooms and a health club with an indoor pool, gym and sauna. There’s a bar and a relaxed all-day restaurant, and kids stay and eat free. Business travellers are close to several corporate HQs, and a business centre with printing facilities is available.
