New Hotel launched at International Confex
Macdonald Hotels & Resorts has unveiled the latest hotel in its portfolio; ‘Macdonald Windsor Hotel’ which is scheduled to open in August 2010.
Launched at events industry trade show, International Confex, Macdonald Windsor Hotel, a contemporary townhouse in central Windsor, will boast 120 luxury bedrooms and extensive meetings and events space. As an ideal business venue, the hotel will have the capacity to host large conferences and events for up to 150 delegates in the Castle Suite, accompanied by the St Georges Suite for up to 70. Smaller board meetings can also be hosted in two executive boardrooms for 25 delegates each and an additional two syndicate rooms for 10 are available for breakout sessions.
Macdonald Windsor is situated on the site of the former ‘Caleys’ department store originally owned by the John Lewis group in the centre of Windsor. Although some of the store has been demolished, around 25 per cent of the hotel sits within the original grade 2 listed building and still contains a variety of original features.
Situated close to many well-known local attractions including; Windsor Castle, Windsor Guildhall and Legoland Macdonald Windsor Hotel is just 10 miles from Heathrow Airport, minutes from the M4 and M25, and less than 40 minutes from London Paddington.
David Guile, Chief Executive commented; “As we approach our 20th anniversary, 2010 will see the Group continue to invest in its portfolio with renewed vigour as the economy strengthens.”
Ruaridh Macdonald, Sales & Marketing Director commented; “We are extremely excited with the opening of a new flagship property, which will be ideally situated along the M4 corridor. Macdonald Windsor Hotel will boast first class facilities for business travellers and the exceptional service that our guests have come to expect from a Macdonald Hotels property.”
The unveiling of the Macdonald Windsor Hotel follows on from the recent announcement last week that Macdonald Hotels has become the first national hotel group to sign all 45 of its venues up to the 2012 Fair Pricing and Practice Charter. This commits it to maintaining value and ensuring fairness of pricing leading up to and during the Olympic Games in 2012.
