Boringdon Hall named a Regional Winner in the LABC Building Excellence Awards 2024
We're thrilled that Boringdon Hall Hotel and Gaia Spa has been named a Regional Winner in the LABC Building Excellence Awards 2024 for 'Best Non-residential Extension, Alteration or Conversion' as a result of the £3 million development of the ‘Wellness Wing’.
As a result, the project has been shortlisted for a finalist in the LABC Grand Finals 2024, announced in January 2025.
Opened in August 2023, the 12 wellness rooms, 2 wellness suites and an additional relaxation room featuring an outdoor hot tub, are spaces for those who are passionate about caring for their total wellbeing.
Redefining the concept of relaxation and well-being, the careful selection of natural elements and earthy tones create an atmosphere to instantly put guests at ease, transporting them to a realm of ultimate relaxation. Offering a harmonious blend of elegance and tranquillity, each wellness room and suite has been meticulously crafted to envelop guests in a cocoon of calmness, providing an unparalleled escape from the chaos of everyday life.
Inspired by the manor’s grounds and countryside location, the colour palette and textures chosen for the interiors of the new rooms and suites harness nature, that of Mother Gaia, boasting natural elements and neutral colours throughout.
Laura Cameron, Managing Director, who led the interiors quotes “We wanted to carry the design and interiors from the spa through to the wellness rooms and suites to evoke a sense of calm and relaxation, drawing inspiration from the grounds. As they are nestled into the side of Dartmoor, we have pulled the colours and textures of nature into the rooms using natural materials and natural colours.”
The lighting design has been carefully calibrated to create a serene ambiance whilst large floor to ceiling windows will bring the outside in, flooding rooms with light.
In addition, walls throughout the new build will be home to living moss, naturally contributing in a more sustainable way to remove toxins from the air and replace with clean, fresh oxygen.
Equipped with the expected hotel necessities such as robes and spa amenities from GAIA Skincare, the hotel’s new additions will offer an array of health & wellness amenities including yoga mats, mindful literature and wellness care kits aiding each guest to become grounded and present, alongside nutritious-led refreshments. The 2 wellness suites feature luxurious rain showers and private outdoor spa baths.
