HOTEL REFURB ADDS NEW RESTAURANT


The Holiday Inn Milton Keynes – Central has unveiled a major refurbishment including opening a new Marco Pierre White restaurant. The hotel has teamed up with the celebrity chef and restaurateur to launch his New York Italian branch, which is already proving a huge hit with guests and local diners. The unveiling comes as the hotel underwent a significant


refurbishment at the end of last year to improve public spaces and importantly upgrade its food and drink offering. The new open lobby dining area consists of Marco’s New York Italian eatery, offering a mixture of Italian-inspired dishes and American classics. The hotel’s new open lobby area transforms how guests eat, drink,


work, meet and socialise by providing one cohesive space to fit individual lifestyles. The remodelled space merges the reception, lounge, bar and restaurant to create one relaxed and multi-faceted area with no barriers. Designed like a laid-back living room, guests can find comfy seating, games and lots of plug in points. The Holiday Inn Milton Keynes – Central, located in the heart of the


town’s business and shopping district, also features a Health Club with an indoor pool and large conference facilities, as well as the new Marco Pierre White restaurant General manager Kevin Coombes said: “The restaurant is going


from strength to strength and we really feel that the local community are enjoying their dining experience at Marco’s!”
