The move comes almost a year after Birmingham-based Greyfort Properties bought the Grade II listed venue out of administration.

The new owners plan to spend in excess of £1m over the next 12 months improving all aspects of the property. 

The refurbishment programme of the Worcestershire property during the last three months has included improvements to function rooms, the reception and bar areas, and the Chateau’s ornamental gardens. The hotel has also been rebranded.

Ben Elder, general manager at the Chateau Impney Hotel, said: "When the new owners purchased the Chateau last year, they knew they were buying a property steeped in history, with lots of potential but in need of some TLC and modernisation.

"From the outset, they made a clear commitment to put the property back on the map and to create a venue that is amongst the very best in the country."

He added that the next phase of work has already commenced, including the refurbishment of the remainder of the bedrooms in the main Chateau building, its 41 Courtyard Rooms and nine self-catering apartments.

Elder explained: "While many people in the region will know Chateau Impney for its hotel facilities, most will be unaware of the sheer scale of our on-site exhibition complex. Conferencing and exhibitions is an area of the business that we intend to focus heavily on, positioning the Impney Regent Centre as one of the region’s leading exhibition centres."
