Holiday Inn celebrates summer solstice

InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) is pleased to announce the opening of a brand new Holiday Inn situated just one mile from one of the world’s most famous and revered prehistoric sites; Stonehenge.

The bold and stylish Holiday Inn Salisbury-Stonehenge opened on 11 June offering 103 fully air-conditioned en-suite bedrooms which provide guests with high speed internet access as well as the latest interactive TV facilities.

Guests can benefit from the hotel’s superb dining and drinking opportunities, including the state-of-the-art Solstice Brasserie. Top London chef Matt Bills heads up a talented team in the cutting-edge kitchen, serving the best of contemporary British cuisine in relaxed, modern surroundings.

Furthermore, those arriving at the hotel late in the evening can also enjoy the 24-hour lounge bar – Bar 303 - which offers an extensive wine menu and exclusive champagnes and whose intimate feel, set around an open fire, are certain to appeal.

As an added extra, the hotel provides the use of 168 parking spaces for hotel guests and restaurant diners free of charge. This offer is available seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

Designed with business as much as leisure visitors in mind, the hotel has two modern well-equipped meeting rooms, the largest of which accommodates up to 40 delegates. Both of the bright rooms offer natural daylight, high-tech equipment such as ISDN lines, whiteboard, working walls, projection screens as well as conference stationery.

Easily accessible when travelling from the M3 motorway, London, The Midlands and The West Country and situated on the A303 in the heart of Wiltshire, this hotel is ideally located for visiting key local attractions, including Stonehenge (1.2 miles), Thruxton Motor Racing (6 miles), Salisbury (7 miles) and Longleat (20 miles).

Alexi Hakim, IHG’s Chief Operating Officer for UK & Ireland, commented: "“I am very excited about the opening of the Holiday Inn Salisbury-Stonehenge and am confident that the needs of both leisure and business guests will be well catered for."

"Given Holiday Inn’s relationship this season in sponsoring Vauxhall Racing within the British Touring Car Championship," he continued, "this hotel is ideally located to host guests for the final this coming October at Thruxton. However, above all, the hotel’s incredible proximity to the delights of Stonehenge - one of the world’s most famous UNESCO World Heritage sites and currently one of the candidates for the new Seven Wonders of the World - will undoubtedly encourage visitors from all over the world to enjoy its natural beauty.”

Holiday Inn prices start from £49 per night including breakfast.
