Set in 54 acres of stunning Hampshire parkland, Norton Park in Winchester has completed its £11 million refurbishment having undergone a total facelift. The former management training centre is now a deluxe four star hotel and Hampshire’s premier business and leisure destination.
The refurbishment sees a completely new reception entrance, courtyard and beautifully landscaped gardens which provide a striking impression as you arrive. In addition a new conference centre and restaurant have been created together with a full refurbishment of the leisure club, ‘Reflections’.
The new conference suite is designed to provide a state-of-the-art facility able to accommodate up to 340 delegates theatre style and the flexibility to be divided into two rooms, with the choice of impressive lighting or natural daylight. The conference suite has a modern AV system, air conditioning and there is also a private bar and lounge area to relax.
The extensive refurbishment and renovation plan at Norton Park has expanded the facilities for the business visitor, whilst keeping the historic charm of the Manor House and the 400-year-old Hampshire Barn. All of the well-designed meeting rooms at Norton Park are equipped with the most up-to-date technology and the hotel has free parking for up to 218 cars.
Scene Restaurant and Bar offers a contemporary setting in which to enjoy fine food and wine. The stunning courtyard area provides a place to relax in the summer months in the tranquillity of 54 acres of parkland.
Reflections – Health, Fitness and Spa, is the ideal place to unwind after a hard day; and includes an ice fountain, aroma steam room, experience shower, heated loungers, beauty treatment rooms and state-of-the-art gym with the latest Technogym equipment.
