A Lancashire venue which is famed for its spa and views is set to close ahead of a multi-million-pound redevelopment and refurbishment.

The investment will aim to transform Stanley House Hotel & Spa, which is set within 54 acres of countryside. Owners said the redevelopment 'will build on that heritage, creating an enhanced experience for guests while securing the long-term future of the hotel'.

To enable the extensive programme of works to take place, Stanley House's accommodation, spa, restaurant and bar operations will temporarily close from September 30.

It is not clear at this stage how long the hotel will be shut for.

The on-site events business, operated by The Glass Marquee, Events by MyLahore, will continue throughout the redevelopment period, with weddings, social and corporate events proceeding as planned.

The hotel and spa complex was bought by Mohsin and Zuber Issa as a private investment in 2019.

Director at Monte Hotels, Zuber Issa, said: "Stanley House Hotel & Spa is a truly special and memorable local destination with a rich history and a fantastic reputation across Lancashire and beyond.

"The planned refurbishment and investment reflects our confidence in the future of the hotel and our commitment to ensuring it remains one of the region's most sought-after hospitality and leisure venues for years to come."

"We are passionate about investing in high-quality hospitality experiences and creating leisure destinations that people are proud to visit. While the redevelopment requires a temporary closure of some hotel operations, the result will be a significantly enhanced Stanley House Hotel & Spa, ready for its next chapter."

"We recognise the impact that a temporary closure has on our hotel and spa team, and we look forward to supporting colleagues through this period as a priority.

"Given our extensive business interests in Lancashire, wherever possible, we will look to identify suitable alternative role opportunities for affected team members."

Guests with accommodation, restaurant or spa bookings affected by the temporary closure are being contacted directly by the hotel.
