New hotels for Peak District and Cotswolds
Hotel management companies are being sought to run two new UK-based resort hotel projects.
Iconic hotel designer Philippe Stark has teamed up with Jade Jagger and John Hitchcox to create Yoo, a five-star complex set in 500 acres of the Cotswolds. It is billed as "country retreat meets luxury urban chic".
The 120-bedroom hotel contains 165 lodges, which will retail for about £400,000.
In Derbyshire's Peak District a £90m development will initially incorporate a 150-bedroom hotel, as well as 250 cottage/lodges, conferencing facilities, an 18-hole golf course, spa and indoor water park.
The property has planning permission for up to 1,000 rooms as part of a phased programme.
Both properties are being developed by the Raven Group and are set to open in 2008.
