A new 81-bedroom hotel is to open at the independently-owned Mere Golf Resort and Spa near Knutsford, Cheshire, this weekend to mark the completion of a £15m redevelopment.

Mather and Co worked on three parts of the scheme, which has included the interior design of the new hotel - an extension to the resort's original golf club building.

The Cheshire-based consultancy also carried out interior design work on a 1,253 sq m (13,487sq ft) health club and day spa, which opened early last year and includes seven treatment rooms and a hammam.

A relaxation terrace, a thermal zone with sauna and steamroom, a salt room and a caldarium Roman-style hot room also feature as part of the spa, which uses Carita and Aromatherapy Associates products.

The health club and spa facilities are located within a former stable block and courtyard at the property and was the first phase of the project. It also houses an indoor pool and gym.

In addition to the hotel and the health club and spa, Mather and Co's work at the Mere Golf Resort and Spa included project managing the refurbishment.

Mather and Co director Chris Mather said: "We were excited to be working on what is a world class destination resort right here on our doorstep in Cheshire.

"This is one of the UK's most prestigious redevelopments and it has served to remind of our design skills and project management pedigree in the hotel and leisure industry."
