Style Invasion UK – New pentahotel Opens in Warrington

Industrial-strength cool hits Warrington as former heavy industry location becomes the latest home for pentahotels, the global phenomenon in neighbourhood/lifestyle accommodation

With the opening of the pentahotel Warrington at the beginning of October 2013, accommodation seekers in England's northwest are suddenly one very stylish hotel better off. There's nothing 'typical' about the pentahotel family, and the latest addition in Warrington is no exception. Guests are welcomed with their room key when they check in at the bar and – in an unusual twist – a refreshing cocktail on the house, if that's their twist.

With the opening of the pentahotel Warrington at the beginning of October 2013, accommodation seekers in England's northwest are suddenly one very stylish hotel better off. There's nothing 'typical' about the pentahotel family, and the latest addition in Warrington is no exception. Guests are welcomed with their room key when they check in at the bar and – in an unusual twist – a refreshing cocktail on the house, if that's their twist. The new neighbourhood/lifestyle brand doesn't just plan to set style trends however. With the opening of this second hotel in the UK, penta is pursuing a global growth strategy. This will include a total of five new UK hotels, with a 562-room capacity.

What sets penta apart is obvious from the first moment you step inside. Chilled beats, colourful lighting and exquisite design by Italian star architect Mattheo Thun are more reminiscent of a cool club than a hotel lobby. This is the pentalounge, the heart of every pentahotel worldwide, and the unmissable motto is Enter, and Relax in Style.

The pentalounge in Warrington is restaurant, bar, chill-out area and meeting point all in one, where culture vultures set to explore Liverpool's Beat history mingle with Red Devils fans hitting Old Trafford for the match. The 103-room hotel is less than 30 minutes away from both Manchester and Merseyside, and if you want to catch all the sights, sounds and style you'd better give yourself plenty of time.

As the cognoscenti know, it doesn't always have to be London, baby, if you want the latest designer trends. Warrington's the perfect springboard for bag loads of shopping opportunities, from the Trafford Centre to the Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet and Gemini Retail Park.

Let's not forget Business travellers, not that we ever would. At the pentahotel they've got top-notch facilities. These include two conference areas for professional meetings, and wifi throughout the entire hotel (including bedrooms), because at pentahotels we understand that in business these details can make all the difference. Standard comforts also include phone, 39" flatscreen TV and free subscription TV including Sky Movies and Sky Sports – ideal for the guest who prefers to end the day in their room.

Pentahotels has grown faster in 2013 than any previous year in the company's history. Under the umbrella of hotel management company the Rosewood Hotel Group, headquartered in Hong Kong, pentahotels is expanding its portfolio from the current 3,950 rooms to 4,409 worldwide. 80 new sites are planned by 2020.
