The hotel resides in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Ironbridge Gorge and overlooks the gorge itself. Although the coal-mining industry once dominated the area, the views today are far more picturesque, with the rocky gorge and green surrounds punctuated by the majestic bridge. Birmingham International Airport is some 80 km from the hotel, while Coventry Airport is about 99 km away. Guests can gaze at the stunning surroundings from the restaurant or, alternatively, from their contemporary suite with stylish décor and a fabulous bathroom. At their leisure, guests may wander over the 68 hectares of idyllic grounds or play a round of golf on the exceptional course with its notable suspended water table greens. Guests are welcomed in a lobby with 24-hour reception and check-out services. In addition to 114 guest rooms, the air-conditioned hotel also provides 3 bars, 8 conference rooms, a car park and both room and laundry services. The guest rooms are brimming with contemporary style and glamour, from the designer headboards to the beautiful counterpanes. Subtle tones have been employed with great effect, contrasting soft latte shades with rich chocolates to create a warm and sensual haven, and throwing in a touch of vibrancy with soft furnishings to add a bit of drama. Each room comes with a private bathroom with shower, bath and hairdryer, as well as a double or king-size bed, a direct dial telephone, satellite/cable TV, Internet access and an ironing set.
