28 Jun 2007 by business traveller

With the smoking ban only a few days away, five Hotel du Vin properties will offer shelter for smokers put out in the cold.

From July 1, the Winchester, Tunbridge Wells, Cheltenham, Henley on Thames and Glasgow hotels will offer "Cigar Shacks" in their gardens.

The shacks have been designed by The Bothy Lodge Company, which provides luxury wooden retreats to hoteliers. The Cigar Shacks are heated and have under floor heating too. The shacks also have wireless internet access and are decked out with comfortable seating and tables.
