A PRESTIGIOUS hotel in Largs has reopened with a brand new look after a four-month closure.
Brisbane House in Largs announced in October last year that it was to close for extensive upgrade works.
The owners, Manorview Group, said that when the hotel reopened, the bar and restaurant facilities would no longer be available for public use.
The revamped hotel is now fully aimed at hosting weddings, private functions, celebrations and events.
All areas of the boutique hotel have been refurbished, but the extra special touches include a duplex honeymoon suite with a private balcony, a dedicated wedding prep room, and an upgraded glass-front function suite with doors that slide open to an extended terrace – all boasting panoramic views of the Clyde.
The 17 guest bedrooms throughout the property have been refurbished to create modern and relaxing spaces that are perfect for a short break to the seaside.
The Caledonian Suite
An exciting new edition is The Caledonian Suite, an impressive two-floor suite with luxurious finishes.
The suite, which includes a spa bath, private bar with complimentary cocktails and steam room shower, opens out to an exclusive-use balcony that overlooks Largs seafront and the Clyde.
In addition to being included in all wedding packages, the suite will be available to book up to three months in advance for special occasions.
David Tracey, managing director at Manorview, said: “Largs has such stunning scenery, and Brisbane House has a great location on the front.
"We took every possible opportunity during the refurb to make the most of those views – as we know our guests will absolutely love it too!
"We are proud to be a part of the Largs tourism landscape, and alongside our neighbouring businesses, remain committed to showcasing what a great place Largs is to both live in and visit.”
Last year, the owners confirmed that couples who book weddings at Brisbane House will now get a full run of the venue, as it will be exclusive use on their wedding day.
The former restaurant in the hotel building has been turned into the Cochrane Suite - a dedicated drinks reception space for weddings.
With a bar, an outdoor terrace with gorgeous views, and mixed seating, the space is perfect for couples to mingle and greet guests immediately after their vows.
The room will also be used for the newlyweds and their guests to enjoy breakfast the morning after their wedding.
The Wallace Suite
The brand-new Wallace Suite comes with an en-suite shower room, sofa, smart TV, bar area and three dedicated dressing tables with large mirrors.
The suite has been designed especially as a wedding prep room. Hair, makeup, dressing and celebrating can all take place in that suite on the morning of the wedding.
Susan Spence, group wedding and events manager at Manorview, added: “We are so excited to finally unveil the upgrades to our existing couples, and those who come to view the venue.
"A great amount of detail and effort has gone into creating a space that works for every aspect of the day – from wedding prep to ceremony, drinks, meal and reception.
"Brisbane House is a fantastic choice for those looking for a waterside wedding, and we can’t wait to host special days here.”
