The restoration and redevelopment of the Cornwall Hotel and Spa in St Austell has won a top regional accolade.
The project, to convert a dilapidated Regency house into a 65 bed boutique 4 star hotel, picked up the Regeneration category in the 2011 RICS South West Awards.
Commenting on the project, the judges said: “This is a bold, dramatic and extensive hotel development which has rescued a listed building, provided a new use for fabric in disrepair and while it needs to ‘bed in’, justified the restoration of the landscape.
“The long-term prospects have been much improved for the building and the area bringing new revenue and local employment opportunities.”
