Caterer and Hotelkeeper – 25630
Tylney Hall, the 91-bedroom country house hotel near Hook, Hampshire, is to celebrate its 10th anniversary with a £4.5m programme of restoration and expansion.
Planning permission has been granted for the addition of 20 guest rooms and suites. The Grade II-listed Orangery greenhouse will be converted into six bedrooms with two estate houses providing another 14 rooms.
The project, which is expected to be completed by autumn 1996, will also see the former laundry adjacent to the hotel converted into function and meeting rooms.
The main building at Tylney Hall was originally built in 1700 as a private residence. It became a school in 1953, finally being converted to hotel use in 1985.
Its sister property, Ashdown Park in East Sussex, opened as a country house hotel in October 1993 after a £14m project. Both hotels, together with the Pink Beach Club in Bermuda, are owned by entrepreneur Thomas Mugleston.
- David Green, the ex-kitchen worker who caused more than £95,000 of damage at Tylney Hall in a drunken rampage, was sentenced to six years in jail at Winchester Crown Court last week.
