The proprietor of the prestigious White Hart Hotel, situated in the historic enclave of Uphill Lincoln, has revealed ambitious expansion plans in the wake of extensive renovations. Acquiring two adjacent Grade II* listed Georgian Town Houses on Castle Square marks a pivotal moment in the hotel’s evolution, promising additional lodgings for its discerning clientele.
The latest venture follows swiftly on the heels of the White Hart Hotel’s grand reopening, showcasing meticulous refurbishments and the inauguration of an upscale restaurant. The newly acquired 7 Castle Hill, set to seamlessly integrate into the hotel’s offerings, mirrors the opulence and sophistication of its refurbished counterparts.
The newly procured property, boasting an array of lavish amenities, is poised to elevate the guest experience to unprecedented heights. A chic cinema room, capacious lounge and dining area, and a contemporary, fully-equipped kitchen adorn the premises, complemented by two generously-appointed king-sized bedrooms, each boasting modern en-suite facilities. Set to welcome guests from June 2024, Number 7 Castle Hill beckons with panoramic vistas of Castle Square and the picturesque vista down Steep Hill, promising an unforgettable sojourn for leisure or corporate pursuits.
In a statement, the proprietor articulated the vision for the expansion: “Number 7 Castle Hill, affectionately known as Castle Square, will provide accommodation for up to eight guests, offering a luxurious retreat in a setting of unparalleled charm and prestige. With its exceptional location and bespoke amenities, it represents a testament to our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences.”
In a strategic move to fortify the hotel’s footprint, the Travel Sector Property Group also secured the adjacent Leigh Pemberton House at 8/9 Castle Hill. While the ground floor and basement areas will continue to serve as the city’s Visitor & Tourist Information Centre, plans are afoot to repurpose the upper floors into five deluxe en-suite bedrooms, seamlessly integrated into the White Hart Hotel’s repertoire, pending planning approval.
The proprietor underscored the dedication to preserving the historical integrity of Leigh Pemberton House, affirming, “We are poised to embark on substantial investments to sensitively adapt and refurbish Leigh Pemberton House, ensuring its continued viability while safeguarding its rich heritage. This strategic acquisition underscores our enduring commitment to Castle Square and the Bailgate precinct, underscoring our resolve to uphold its legacy for generations to come.”
The expansion signals a new chapter in the storied history of the White Hart Hotel, emblematic of the unwavering vision to position the establishment as a paragon of luxury and refinement in the heart of Lincoln. As construction commences on the transformative refurbishment of Leigh Pemberton House, anticipation mounts for the unveiling of a dynamic, multifaceted hospitality destination, poised to captivate and delight visitors from near and far.
