Hotel developer
Starboard Hotels will open its first Holiday Inn Express in Burnley this
September, with three more UK hotels to follow over the next two years.
The £7 million
Holiday Inn Express Burnley is located off junction 10 of the M65, close to
Burnley town centre and around 30 minutes’ drive from Manchester city centre. Features
include 102 bedrooms, four air-conditioned meeting rooms, a bar and a café-style
restaurant.
The hotel is the first
of four developments by Starboard, with the next being a 126-room Days Inn
property located by Wetherby racecourse and due to open in February 2009. Two
more Holiday Inn Express hotels are slated for Edgbaston Mill (a mixed-use
development in Birmingham) and Gateshead (adjacent to the city’s Millennium
Bridge) in 2010.
Starboard says it
is working with Intercontinental Hotel Group, Wyndham Worldwide and Hilton
Hotels Corporation to develop a range of branded hotel developments across the
UK.
