Bedford Lodge Hotel to unveil new dance studio as part of £4m redevelopment

April 20, 2012 - PRLog -- Scheduled for completion by August, the studio will host a range of fitness classes for members of the on-site Edge Health and Fitness Club as well as guests at the four star Bury Road hotel.

Redevelopment works also include the creation of 22 new luxury bedrooms which will bring the total to 77.  Many of the existing rooms have recently undergone a refurbishment, as has the restaurant which has also been rebranded as Squire’s. Meanwhile, a new spa is being constructed at the adjacent Rockfield House and is due to open later this year.

Chief Executive Noel Byrne explained that the addition of the new dance studio means that Bedford Lodge is one of very few  hotels in Suffolk to be expanding on such a large scale.  He added: “It’s a very exciting time for the hotel as every single facet of our business is being upgraded or extended.

“Not only is this great news for us and our guests, it will provide a boost for the local economy – we will be creating at least 60 new jobs in the hotel and the spa, as well as new positions for fitness instructors at the dance studio.”

He added: “The studio will enhance our leisure facilities immeasurably, with classes to appeal to people of all ages including aerobics and yoga.”

Set in three acres of rose gardens, Bedford Lodge Hotel is a leading wedding and conference venue and is the former Suffolk Hotel of the Year.  Fitness instructors who are interested in holding clubs at the dance studio are asked to contact Health and Fitness Manager Paul Simmons on 01638 666075.  For more information about the hotel, visit www.bedfordlodgehotel.co.uk or call 01638 663175.
