The Suncrest Hotel has re-opened its doors following a Lm500,000 refurbishment programme that was completed in 11 weeks.

The refurbishment, aimed at providing an innovative and quality-conscious service, consisted mainly of the upgrading of the technical plant, the guest rooms and the public areas.

The conference facilities were also upgraded and now include parquet flooring as well as a new sound and visual system. Restaurants, kitchens and service areas were also revamped.

The hotel’s closure period was also utilised for a restructuring and reorganising drive which also saw the recruitment of new staff at all levels.

While congratulating all the contractors and employees for completing the works on time, Suncrest Hotel general manager Philippe Lonfat said the refurbishment had strengthened the Suncrest as a year-round hotel, attracting out-of-season trade especially in the conference and incentive business.

“With this kind of upgrading there is no reason why we should not be able to target top end events too,” Mr Lonfat said.

Mr Lonfat also expressed his satisfaction on the positive trend of bookings for the coming weeks and emphasised that the launch of the Suncrest new interactive website www.suncresthotel.com, would definitely assist in increasing bookings from the tourist trade as well as individually.
