The Elvetham Hotel in Hampshire has undergone a modern transformation over the past 12 months, bringing a new lease of life to its communal areas, conference spaces, and newly refurbished bedrooms.
The refurbishment process was done so with the aim of maintaining the property’s historic qualities and some features that were once lost have been restored. In The Elvetham’s Top Hall and main hallway, its carpeted floors have been removed to reveal the original Victorian tile work underneath. The area has also been furnished with new seating.
Some of The Elvetham’s events spaces have undergone a large transformation. Within The Library – the largest function room of the hotel which is used for dinner receptions and large meetings – an old carpet has been removed to reveal the oak floor beneath it. Its bookshelves have been resupplied with hundreds of pieces of classic literature from British authors.
The hotel’s Morning Room has been updated from its original cream patterned wallpaper to a modern pastel blue colour, featuring views onto the formal garden squares. The Seymour Room on the first floor has been re-carpeted, offering a modern meeting space.
The Elvetham’s first and second-floor bedrooms have been renovated with styling and modern amenities. The new bedrooms are decorated with a feature papered wall and decorative headboards, oak style writing desks and bedside cabinets, new smart TVs with inbuilt chrome casts, bedside wall mounted USB charging points, and in-room fridges. The rooms are then completed with ensuite bathrooms.
The Elvetham’s Sylvanus Restaurant surrounding the formal garden squares has been modernised with new furniture, while the residential Gloriana Bar has been re-designed with a modern colour scheme and contemporary artwork dedicated to former visitor Queen Elizabeth I.
