Huddersfield hotel announces relaunch following seven-figure refurbishment

Cedar Court Hotel Huddersfield is relaunching to guests following a significant £1.1m refurbishment of the 113-bedroom hotel based at Ainley Top. The refurbishment included bedrooms, dining, business, and lounge areas and took place over 12 months.

The overhaul is part of the Cedar Court Hotel group’s wider strategy to invest into the region by creating a multi-purpose hub for the community and attracting visitors to the city.

Members of the public, sports fans and the Huddersfield Business Community are invited to attend the grand relaunch event on Thursday 1 February 2024 to celebrate the reopening and network with like-minded individuals and sample locally curated drinks.

The new facilities include ‘The Dugout’, an underground sports-themed venue with a dedicated private bar, set to be a versatile event space for local sports teams, corporate groups and members of the community to meet, with delicious food and locally curated drinks on offer.

Refurbishment inside the hotel includes updated and redesigned bedrooms, meeting rooms, lounge and lobby areas, restaurant and bar, alongside a refresh of The Yorkshire Suite.

Working with local designer Emma Jones, from Rhubarb and Ginger Interiors, the palette of rich greens and warm wood takes inspiration from the surrounding areas of the hotel, whilst paying homage to the historical industrial elements of the Yorkshire town.

Located just off the M62 between Leeds and Manchester, and a 15-minute drive from The Piece Hall, an open-air courtyard and live music venue which has a capacity of up to 5,500 guests, Cedar Court Huddersfield has been named as one of the organisation’s local partners.

The hotel is part of Yorkshire’s largest independent hotel group, Cedar Court Hotels, which turns over £18m annually and attracts 500,000 visitors to its four hotels across Yorkshire, with the newly refurbished Huddersfield location seeing a 13 per cent growth in its average room rate and achieving an 80 per cent occupancy rate annually.

Managing Director, Wayne Topley, Chairman of Leeds Hotels and Venues Association, Director of Harrogate BID, and Committee Member of the Institute of Hospitality, said: “It is fantastic to finally be able to share the refurbished Cedar Court Huddersfield space with guests, visitors and members of the local community.

“This £1.1m investment shows our commitment to Huddersfield and the wider region. We are very excited to be partnering with The Piece Hall, an iconic venue which will attract thousands of music fans to Huddersfield, Halifax and Calderdale, and drive a huge boost for the local economy.”
