Preliminary work is now underway on the development of the new Southampton Harbour Hotel and Spa at Ocean Village, with construction due to start in the next few months.
When it opens as expected sometime in 2017, it will be Southampton's first five star hotel. The hotel will include 85 bedrooms, a luxury harbour spa with a gym and swimming pool, along with a 'Jetty' restaurant and a rooftop Champagne bar.
The ground floor is set to include a large open plan lounge, restaurant and bar, which will extend out onto a terrace at the end of the existing promontory. The hotel will also feature private moorings.
Southampton Harbour Hotel and Spa at Ocean Village will also feature a selection of meeting and event spaces enjoying a waterfront setting.
The hotel will be operated by the Harbour Hotel Group, which also operates similar styled hotels in Sidmouth, Christchurch, St Ives and Salcombe.
