Work has started on a £1.4 million refurbishment programme at Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa in Dundee.

The city centre hotel’s public spaces, including its reception and conference areas, as well as the hotel’s Metro Bar & Brasserie and Yu Spa will be transformed over the coming months.

The significant investment comes less than one year after the completion of a £2.4m bedroom refurbishment, which saw all 151 bedrooms and suites at the four-star quayside hotel upgraded.

The full programme of improvements is set to be completed in the New Year, with the hotel operating business as usual throughout the period.

Ronnie MacKay, general manager at Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to see work starting on the latest round of refurbishment work at the hotel.

“The feedback from guests following the bedroom refurbishment has been exceptionally positive and, given that the plans in place for the public areas look absolutely fantastic, we’re confident our guests will be impressed with the finished result.”

“The significant investment in the hotel over the past 12 months or so really underlines Apex’s commitment to constantly raising the bar and ensuring first-class standards for guests across the board.

“We’ll keep our guests informed of our plans every step of the way, but as the works continue over the coming months, we fully intend to operate business as usual until we unveil the finished product.”

Since late 2017, Apex Hotels has invested approximately £12m in refurbishment works across its 10 UK hotels.
