West Cliff Hotel in Bournemouth unveils after ?1.4m refurbishment

Bournemouth?s West Cliff spa hotel has revealed the results of a ?1.4m refurbishment which transformed its reception, bar, lounge, restaurant and indoor swimming pool.

Following a buy-out by membership club Boundless, new general manager Tony Giauna says the refurbishments are just the start.

A new look for the spa area, refurbishment of its 83 rooms and further enhancements to the reception area are also in the pipeline.

Tony said: ?We?re delighted to reveal the fruits of our labour over the last year as we continue to transform The West Cliff into an affordable oasis of calm in central sunny Bournemouth.

"With easy access to the beach and town centre, our guests can enjoy the local area but return to a tranquil setting complete with brand new leisure facilities.

"There aren?t many hotels in the area that can boast two swimming pools, a spa and gym as well as a relaxing conservatory and garden ? and that makes it a hidden gem.

"When we took over, we knew there was work required to meet customer expectations and we?re committed to making the West Cliff Hotel the best it can possibly be.?

The newly refurbished restaurant offers a small seasonal menu with dishes including traditional British fare such as fish and chips to more European flavours including pasta and salads with couscous, lentils and roasted vegetables. Sunday brunch at the West Cliff' Sunday brunch offers a three-course menu with a glass of prosecco for the adults and milkshake for children.

The new-look bar includes a cocktail menu complete with ?nitro? espresso martinis. It also boasts a gin menu which will soon come with a pairing device to advise customers which Fever Tree tonic best accompanies their gin of choice.

Pricing starts from ?77 for a standard double room.
