Accor has this week opened the largest internationally-branded hotel in the Somerset town of Bridgwater; the 144-room ibis Bridgwater.
Operated by Cycas Hospitality as part of a management agreement with Zeal Hotels and Sandgate Investors, the new-build property is the first ibis hotel in the UK to showcase the brand’s new Plaza design throughout.
The new ibis Bridgwater also becomes the first UK ibis hotel to feature a Keepers Kitchen and Bar; an all-day dining restaurant and bar whose locally-sourced menus champion the regional produce and support a wide range of nearby suppliers.
Other facilities at the stylish new hotel include two meeting rooms seating up to 40 people, and extensive on-site parking for 81 cars, plus free coach parking. Each of the hotel’s 40 twin, 96 double and eight accessible / interconnected rooms are soundproofed and incorporate the brand’s Sweet Bed concept for unparalleled comfort, plus a Smart TV with Chromecast.
Cristina de Oliveira-Frewen, SVP Franchise Operations, Accor Northern Europe, said: “ibis Bridgwater is the first UK hotel to feature the brand’s new Plaza design concept. It’s an exciting transformation for ibis and we’re enormously proud to see the design come to life in this hotel, bringing an urban modernity to the interior design. The addition of our Keepers Bar and Restaurant makes this an exciting, modern and affordable hotel for business and leisure guests.”
