PLANS are afoot to completely overhaul the Beaufort Hotel in Green Street.
Its owner, Huggler Hotels, wants to spend up to £3m transforming the three-sun hotel into a ’boutique town house’ complete with new faูade and entrance, a mix of salubriously designed bedrooms and suites, including a number of spacious ’super-suites’, and a fully equipped spa.
If Planning consent to the redevelopment, the Huggler group - which also owns the Apollo in St Saviour’s Road as well as the Bohemia bar and restaurant next door to the Beaufort - hope that the builders will move in in January and finish the job around this time next year.
‘I would say this is one of the biggest investments in Jersey tourism in recent years,’ said Lawrence Huggler, the managing director of Huggler Hotels.
‘If approved, the hotel will have 32 luxury bedrooms and 14 suites, all with the finest finishes and marble bathrooms.
‘The spa will have four treatment rooms which will include dry float equipment, manicure and pedicure areas, a herbal stream room, an exfoliating salt grotto, a mud therapy room, a monsoon shower plus indoor and outdoor pools.
‘Combined with Bohemia bar and restaurant, this will become one of the top town house hotels in the UK.
