Stanley House set for multimillion pound upgrade

Stanley House Hotel & Spa in Blackburn has announced plans for a significant multimillion pound redevelopment and refurbishment programme.

The major investment will enhance guest facilities throughout the property.

To enable the extensive programme of works to take place, Stanley House's accommodation, spa, restaurant and bar operations will temporarily close from 30
September 2026.

The on-site events business operated by The Glass Marquee, Events by MyLahore, will
continue throughout the redevelopment period, with weddings, social and corporate
events proceeding as planned.

Zuber Issa, director at Monte Hotels, said: "Stanley House Hotel & Spa is a truly
special and memorable local destination with a rich history and a fantastic reputation
across Lancashire and beyond.

"The planned refurbishment and investment reflects our confidence in the future of the hotel and our commitment to ensuring it remains one of the region's most sought-after hospitality and leisure venues for years to come."

"We are passionate about investing in high quality hospitality experiences and creating
leisure destinations that people are proud to visit. While the redevelopment requires a
temporary closure of some hotel operations, the result will be a significantly enhanced
Stanley House Hotel & Spa, ready for its next chapter.

"We recognise the impact that a temporary closure has on our hotel and spa team, and
we look forward to supporting colleagues through this period as a priority. Given our
extensive business interests in Lancashire, wherever possible, we will look to identify
suitable alternative role opportunities for affected team members."

Guests with accommodation, restaurant or spa bookings affected by the temporary
closure are being contacted directly by the hotel.

Further details about the redevelopment programme will be announced as plans progress.
