Brian and Shez Blundell, the hotel owners and developers, said: “We wanted to create something that oozes elegance, class and sophistication that would be perfect for any or all special occasions.

“We are delighted with the finished product and cannot wait to welcome people into both the hotel and our Thai Fusion restaurant.”

The hotel also features a bar, adorned with chandeliers and lined with plush interiors, where the Thai Fusion Pianos restaurant is located. It will also serve traditional roast dinners of roast beef, rack of lamb and chicken every Sunday.
