Seasons Holidays buys Seaham Hall hotel
POSTED 03 Apr 2012 . BY Pete Hayman
Bristol-based Seasons Holidays has completed the purchase of Seaham Hall, a luxury hotel and spa in County Durham, UK, out of the administration of von Essen Hotels 2 Ltd.

The 20-bedroom hotel is sited amid 37 acres (15 hectares) of gardens and woodland on the north east English coastline and its facilities include the Feng Shui-inspired Serenity Spa.

Teak, granite and limestone are used in the Oriental-influenced design of the spa, which houses 19 treatment rooms, a 20m ozone cleansed pool with massage stations and a hammam.

A sanarium with crystal light therapy; a sauna with quartz crystal; a black granite steamroom; a hydrotherapy bath with 12 massage stations; and an ice fountain also form part of the spa.

Barry Donaghey, managing director of Seasons Holidays, said: "We will be looking to build on the hotel's reputation to ensure it continues to be one of the top destinations at a regional, national and international level."

Seasons Holidays already owns seven country house hotels across the UK, along with three in Spain, Portugal and the Canary Islands. Christie + Co completed the sale on behalf of the administrators.
