Butlins to open luxury hotel

28/01/2009 17:19:04

Holiday group Butlins is set to open a new luxury hotel in Bognor Regis.

Better known for its holiday camps, the group plans to open the £20 million Ocean Hotel establishment in August, providing a number of hospitality jobs in the region.

The 200-room hotel will be the biggest in the town and will feature a spa and rooms with private balconies overlooking the sea and the South Downs.

Rooms feature colour-change lighting and rainfall showers, while facilities in the development include a restaurant, bar and landscaped gardens.

"The hotel's launch is coming at the right time as we see people changing their holiday habits and they might just want to book into the high end at Butlins and that is the Ocean Hotel," the firm's managing director Richard Bates comments.

Butlins has another hotel at its Bognor Regis resort, the Shoreline, which opened in 2005 and has 160 rooms.
