Brisbane House in Largs has re-opened with a brand-new look following an extensive refurbishment that was completed over the winter.
Owners Manorview reportedly invested heavily in the seaside boutique hotel, making improvements throughout, plus adding some extra special features including a ‘wow-factor’ duplex honeymoon suite with 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.
Managing director at Manorview, David Tracey, 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 can’t wait for guests from near and far to come and see the new space for themselves. 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.”
The new duplex has been christened The Caledonian Suite, and includes a spa bath, private bar with complimentary cocktails and steam room shower. The two-floor suite opens out to an exclusive-use balcony that overlooks Largs bay 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.
Guests celebrating milestones of every kind will be able to host events in the hotel’s Brisbane Suite, which has also been upgraded, with new lighting and décor that’s described as suitable for any occasion. To make the most of the riverside setting, the terrace to the front has been extended, and the glass front changed to large sliding doors so that it can open to the outside.
The former restaurant in the hotel building has been turned into The Cochrane Suite – a dedicated drinks reception space for weddings. With a bar, outdoor terrace, and mixed seating, the space is intended 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 hotel’s Wallace Suite is also brand new. 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, where hair, makeup, dressing and celebrating can all take place in that suite on the morning of the wedding.
The property’s 17 guest bedrooms have all been upgraded to create ‘modern and relaxing spaces’. Last year, Manorview confirmed that couples who book weddings at Brisbane House will now get full run of the venue, as it will be exclusive use on their wedding day.
Group wedding & events manager at Manorview, Susan Spence, said: “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.”
