Intercontinental Hotels Group has opened a Holiday Inn Express property overlooking Epsom Downs Racecourse, ahead of the launch of the new Grandstand conference and events venue next year.
The Holiday Inn Express Epsom Downs is one of the new generation of Holiday Inn properties (see online news April 9 for more information on the brand’s relaunch). Located alongside the racecourse’s Queens Stand, the hotel features 120 rooms, all with en suite bathrooms, internet access, satellite TV, pay for movies, a work desk, and tea and coffee making facilities. Room rates (starting at £79) include continental breakfast, and there is a lounge area with bar for evening meals.
Next April the hotel will be joined by the revamped Grandstand at Epsom Downs Racecourse, which will offer events space for up to 800 guests, with pillar free exhibition space, additional suites for meetings and more private hospitality boxes.
