The Grosvenor Hotel along with its former manager achieved notoriety in the Channel 4 reality TV series: The Hotel – where a catalogue of disasters was played out for the entertainment of the viewers.
Since then the Grosvenor Hotel has changed owners and undergone a total makeover with two-Michelin-starred chef, John Burton-Race, taking charge in the kitchens.
John Burton-Race Restaurant with Rooms has 46 bedrooms and there are plans to increase this to 50. Each bedroom features an en-suite bathroom, a television, tea/coffee making facilities and free wi-fi.
John Burton-Race Restaurant with Rooms has two principal meeting rooms. The Roslyn Suite will accommodate up to 50 delegates. The Ballroom Suite, with a Victorian stone staircase leading down to the gardens, will accommodate up to 150 guests.
On-site leisure facilities include a heated indoor and outdoor pool, sauna and a hot tub.
The John Burton-Race Restaurant is described as elegant and cosy. ‘Warm colours and ornate open fireplaces create an easy ambience, while John’s menu offers patrons a perfect selection of innovative dishes with a strong emphasis on flavour and presentation’.
John Burton-Race Restaurant with Rooms is located in its own landscaped gardens, a three-minute walk from Torquay’s beaches and a two-minute walk from the centre of Torquay.
