£400k refurbishment helps make 'a grand entrance' for County Durham hotel

A County Durham hotel has invested £400k into the refurbishment of its main ballroom.

Ramside Hall Hotel, Golf and Spa has invested the money to give a new look to its main ballroom, which includes the creation of a new entrance and an area for private receptions.

The latest investment aims to position the hotel as the highest rated four-star hotel in the area, particularly for weddings, conferences and events.

The ballroom – which until recently was reached via a side entrance – now opens up at the front of the hotel with a new set of windows, flooding the area with natural light.

The room, one of a number of spaces that the luxury hotel has for events, can accommodate from 80 to 180 for a wedding breakfast or meeting and up to 250 for an evening reception or conference.

The transformation of the ballroom follows on from a range of developments at Ramside Hall Hotel in recent years, which now has 127 bedrooms, two golf courses and a spa.

John Adamson, owner of the hotel which is part of Ramside Estates, said: “The ballroom has always been extremely popular for both events and wedding celebrations and the new frontage will make it even more attractive.

“It looks fantastic as a backdrop for photographs and also has the real wow factor for when guests arrive at the hotel.”

Ramside also has a range of other event spaces including the Bishops Suite which can take up to 500 people and can also be broken down into a number of smaller rooms, as well as the Fountain Room which can take up to 80 and various smaller board rooms.
