TWEEDMILL SHOPPING OUTLET ANNOUNCE AW17 FASHION SHOW
Bridge Street Townhouse will be transformed by new owners Know Collection .
A Chester boutique hotel is set to undergo a £ 250k transformation with an artistic nod to the city ’ s Roman past , with their new branding . Bridge Street Townhouse , will soon be rebranded ‘ The Townhouse ’ and will have the iconic Roman soldier ’ s helmet , a bronze galea , as its new logo . The Townhouse , which is located in a Grade II listed Georgian building is situated within the historic Roman city walls , will see 30 of its bedrooms given a make-over with features of a real Georgian House coming to fruition . Sumptuous fabrics will be paired with chic modern furniture and wall murals , as well as new flooring , bespoke lighting and a colour palette of teal , gold and grey . The boutique hotel will also see its gym and former offices transformed into a multi-roomed ‘ Group Pad ’, ideal for burgeoning hen and stag party market in the city . An annex to the rear of the property , which can be hired exclusively and sleeps 24 people , will also see interior designer Patricia Hewlett ’ s influence . She said : “ Chester ’ s historical setting is so significant and something we wanted to treasure and embrace with the Townhouse refurbishment . We are in a beautifully designed Georgian townhouse so we also never wanted to be cliche or obvious when it came to the designs - it was important to keep it classic but modern at the same time and we can ’ t wait to unveil the results .”
The Townhouse will officially relaunch in November after the first phase of works is complete ; which includes a redesign of the courtyard to the rear of the property and a new Roman-inspired lounge and breakfast area . Steven Hesketh of Know Collection , who acquired the site in July said : “ We ’ ve been overwhelmed with the response to The Townhouse since we bought it - we ’ ve been inundated with new bookings and there ’ s rarely been a quiet day . What we want now is to bring it up to Know Collection standards - making it an individual business with its own unique identity with the help of our expert team who have a great eye for detail and a passion for bringing a brand to life .” Works are expected to be completed in 2018 .
