At a cost of £1.5m the Hilton Portsmouth hotel and conference venue has been refurbished to set a new standard for accommodation and events in the city. It now boasts a new restaurant, bar and lounge as well as 119 guestrooms with plasma screen TVs. The existing meetings and function suites have been restyled and are now fully air-conditioned.
Anthony Worrall, Area General Manager, says: 'Portsmouth is a wonderfully vibrant community on so many levels and one that is also steeped in history. Now with the new face of the Hilton Portsmouth unveiled, we are confident we can continue to surprise our guests and make a valuable contribution to the city.'
Simon Vincent, President of Hilton UK and Ireland said: 'Hilton is at one of the most exciting times in its history as the Hilton Family of Hotels enters the UK market. These new brands offer a brand for every occasion and an opportunity to fuel our rapid international development plans. We aim to double the size of our UK and Ireland estate from 75 to 150 properties over the next five to ten years, and along with opening newly branded hotels, investment in the core brand Hilton is integral to our success. Portsmouth is an excellent example.'
