A HOTEL has opened 50 more bedrooms to offer more choice to passengers travelling through Bristol Airport.
Hampton by Hilton Hotel at Bristol Airport has opened 50 additional bedrooms this summer to offer customers more choice and cater for demand.
All bedrooms have been made from prefabricated shipping containers by a company called DMD Modular in Poland.
They took just a few months to build and arrived earlier this month pre-assembled with the wardrobes, cupboards, desks and bathrooms.
The bedrooms feature the new style of design and decoration and come complete with SMEG kettles and fridges and 55-inch TVs.
Forty-eight of the 50 bedrooms come with super king beds, which is a new room type for the hotel.
Andrew Peacock, general manager, said: “We’re thrilled to add 50 stylish bedrooms that showcase our new design.
“This additional part of the hotel offers Super King Flex rooms with the option of a king size bed, ideal for those who want to treat themselves to a bigger bed, or two single beds which are perfect for friends who want to share a room.
“With the expansion of Bristol Airport, we’re seeing a growing demand for rooms, and this summer looks set to be our busiest period yet. Now even more people travelling can benefit from starting their holiday with a little bit of luxury or enjoy relaxing here before heading home.”
Rupert Lawrie, commercial director, Bristol Airport, added: “Having recently celebrated 10 million customers travelling through the terminal in a consecutive twelve-month period, it is great news that the Hampton by Hilton is able to accommodate even more Bristol Airport customers, offering the added convenience and comfort of being the only hotel based the Airport.”
Hampton by Hilton is located next to the Airport terminal. It was built using a modular construction technique designed and manufactured by CIMC Modular Building Systems, with segments of the hotel built in a factory in China.
It opened its door in February 2017. The hotel now has 251 bedrooms, two meeting rooms, a gym, lounge area and food and drink facilities.
