Best Western Leyland Hotel scores ‘Premiership’

Leading Lancashire hotel, the Best Western Leyland Hotel, has just been awarded ‘Premier’ status following a number of successful design, quality and service assessments.

Based in Preston, the four star hotel is the newest addition to a small number of exceptional Premier hotels within the Best Western brand. With only six hotels achieving this status, outside of London, the hotel now proudly holds the title as Lancashire’s only Premier hotel.

Now known as the Best Western Premier Leyland Hotel, this property has received a multi-million pound refurbishment over the last three years and has been renovated to the highest of standards. In fact, the management boasts a ‘wow around every corner’ at this hotel.

Purpose built in the 1970’s as a hotel on the edge of the motorway this property now has a new look ‘decadent and sexy’ décor. This is evident through the hotels choice of original, modern sculptures and unusual furniture creating intrigue in every room.

With a total of 93 individual executive bedrooms, including a bridal suite, fantastic leisure facilities including a large indoor swimming pool, spa bath, steam room, sauna and exercise room it is easy to see why this hotel hits the mark at a Premier hotel.

As part of the plans the Four Seasons Restaurant was renovated to feature a tribute to magnificent 1970’s architecture, with a pentagonal vaulted ceiling, optic fibre lighting and 'kitch' statues.

Other little attentions to details securing the ‘Premier’ title are GHD hair straightners in bedrooms, bubble bath butlers, female concierge, specially created nibbles and drinks on check-in and personal DVD players for lone diners.

David Clarke, Chief Executive, Best Western Hotels said: “The Best Western Premier Leyland has achieved the highest of standards with excellent facilities, spectacular rooms and personal customer service and we are delighted to be welcoming the hotel into our Premier collection.”

The Premier status is the highest accolade to be achieved from the Best Western group – with only a further seven hotels in Great Britain making it past the stringent assessments. What’s more, out of 4,200 properties worldwide only 100 make the grade.

Stuart Hunter, Managing Director, Best Western Premier Leyland Hotel said of the hotels achievement, “We have been aiming for Premier status at the hotel for a while now and throughout our renovation we had Premiership in mind. Our attention to detail and hard work at the hotel has made it possible to proudly display the Premier plaque outside the hotel.”

This year the number of Premier properties in the Best Western portfolio is set to rise as the membership team strive to increase the number of hotels both joining and achieving this exceptional quality and standard.
