Valor Hospitality and voco hotels have partnered up to launch voco Fareham-Solent following significant investment, which has also seen the creation of a new destination restaurant, Brickworks Lounge & Grill.

The rebrand has been overseen by Valor Hospitality, which has managed an extensive refurbishment programme for the hotel’s 130 king-sized bedrooms to reflect the laid-back charm of IHG’s voco brand.

Designed to create a premium and personalised experience, the new voco Fareham-Solent boasts a new destination restaurant, Brickworks Lounge & Grill, as a nod to the area’s brickwork heritage.

Offering a crafted dining experience, Brickworks will form part of Valor Hospitality’s global SAVOR portfolio, which is designed to create authentic food and beverage experiences, headed up by a team of culinary experts.

Brickworks will be open throughout the day for hotel guests and local diners, offering cocktails and a premium menu from the restaurant’s open grill.

The investment at voco Fareham-Solent has also included a refurbished leisure club with a heated indoor pool, sauna and steam room and a state-of-the art gym for guests and gym members.

Bedroom and bathroom renovations have included interior designs from Greyline Design.This includes new artwork, upgraded furnishings and indulgent bedding to create friendly and unstuffy hospitality. Any replaced items have been recycled or repurposed to redirect all waste away from landfill.

New sustainable features have also been introduced, including technology to reduce carbon emissions such as aerated shower heads and energy efficient lighting.

George French, General Manager at voco Fareham-Solent, said:

“I’d like to extend my thanks to the whole team here at voco Fareham-Solent, each of whom have been central to reviving and refreshing our hotel. This includes incorporating the voco brand and its beautiful signature touches to create a relaxed environment for everyone that comes through our door. We’re especially excited to welcome guests to our new restaurant, Brickworks, which will offer a carefully curated menu that will transition throughout the day.”
