A new kind of hotel, THE RO, is set to open this July in the most popular tourist destination of the lakes, Bowness-on-Windermere.
Overlooking the breath-taking Lake Windermere the new 87 room property has undergone a multi million pound refurbishment, which has seen it transformed from its previous guise as The Hydro Hotel.
The new hotel will be informal and relaxed but deliver a warm lakes welcome. All guests will be catered for from couples to families to those with dogs.
The 87 rooms feature eight different categories, from cosy to the stunning Ro Suite with lake views. All rooms have been completely renovated and feature clean lines, artistic decor and home from home comforts.
Challenging the formal, all day dining will be available in our dining area – Lacu at The Ro, breakfast for example will be served until 5pm for hotel guests so they never need to rush out of bed.
The cuisine will be local, honest, comfort food; sourced responsibly, seasonally and, where possible locally, but always British. The Ro Bar will be the perfect destination for both guests and locals, again locally sourced spirits will be on offer.
APM Design Ltd and architect Mason Gillibrand reconfigured the internal space and main entrance while respecting and showcasing the original features of the building. The design takes inspiration from the lake and surrounding countryside with cool blues and turquoises complemented with accents of oranges, natural stone and traditional grey slate.
In addition to the rooms and dining the hotel’s conference and meeting rooms, have also been given an overhaul. The six new spaces can cater for events from 6 to 200.
The significant refurbishment has been undertaken by investment group, Lake Merritt Hospitality. The hotel will be managed by UK management company 7 Hospitality Management.
Rooms start from £295. For more information visit: https://www.therohotel.com/
