Brisbane House in Largs, owned by Manorview, has opened with a brand-new look that includes some wow-factor areas and special touches. The unveil follows an extensive refurbishment that was completed over the winter.
All areas of the boutique hotel have been refurbished, but the extra special touches include a stunning wow-factor duplex honeymoon suite with private balcony, a dedicated wedding prep room, and an upgraded glass-front function suite with doors that slide open to an extended terrace – all boasting panoramic views of the Clyde.
The 17 guest bedrooms throughout the property have been refurbished to create modern and relaxing spaces that are perfect for a short break to the seaside.
An exciting new edition is The Caledonian Suite, an impressive two floor suite with luxurious finishes and a stunning outlook.
The suite provides guests with a spa bath, private bar with complimentary cocktails and steam room shower, as wll as an exlusive-use balcony which overlooks Largs bay and the Clyde.
In addition to being included in all wedding packages, the suite will be available to book up to three months in advance for special occasions.
Locals celebrating milestones of every kind will be able to host events in the hotel’s Brisbane Suite, which has also been upgraded. The space has beautiful new lighting provided by North Star Electric and décor that’s suitable for any occasion, and to make the most of the spectacular setting, the terrace to the front has been extended, and the glass front changed to large sliding doors so that it can open to the outside.
David Tracey, Managing Director at Manorview said, “Largs has such stunning scenery, and Brisbane House has a great location on the front. We took every possible opportunity during the refurbishment to make the most of those views – as we know our guests will absolutely love them too!”
Last year, Manorview confirmed that couples who book weddings at Brisbane House will now get full run of the venue, as it will be exclusive-use on their wedding day. But new guest rooms, a brand-new honeymoon suite and upgraded function suite aren’t the only new things couples will enjoy!
The former restaurant in the hotel building has been turned into The Cochrane Suite – a dedicated drinks reception space for weddings. With a bar, outdoor terrace which makes the most of the views, and mixed seating, the space is perfect for couples to mingle and greet guests immediately after their vows. The room will also be used for the newlyweds and their guests to enjoy breakfast the morning after their wedding.
The Wallace Suite is also brand new. With an ensuite shower room, sofa, smart tv, bar area and three dedicated dressing tables with large mirrors, the suite has been designedespecially as a wedding prep room.
Hair, makeup, dressing and celebrating can all take place in that suite on the morning of the wedding! The room benefits from natural light with two large windows overlooking the Clyde and is sure to be a hit with brides to be.
Outside, locals using the Brisbane for celebrations, hotel guests and wedding guests will all enjoy a larger terrace and a newly landscaped front garden – featuring wooden pergolas and lined with palm trees, all looking on to the Clyde.
Landscaper Keith Robertson said, “This was a another fantastic project to work in conjunction with our friends at the Manorview Group. I think the design brief and concept that came together has created a beautiful garden for people to get married in, with the
back drop of the Clyde to finish it off.”
Susan Spence, Group Wedding & Events Manager at Manorview said, “We are so excited to finally unveil the upgrades to our existing couples, and those who come to view the venue. A great amount of detail and effort has gone into creating a space that works for every aspect of the day – from wedding prep to ceremony, drinks, meal and reception. Brisbane House is a fantastic choice for those looking for a waterside wedding, and we can’t wait to host special days here.”
The entire Brisbane House building has been upgraded throughout the renovations, unveiling a new look for the Largs hotel. David commented, “We can’t wait for guests from near and far to come and see the new space for themselves. We are proud to be a part of the Largs tourism landscape, and alongside our neighbouring businesses, remain committed to showcasing what a great place Largs is to both live in and visit.”
The team at Brisbane House enjoyed an extended rest or worked at another Manorview property during the renovations. The team are now back in the venue, and are looking for teammates too. Those interested can find out more about careers and job openings on
