IHG adds a Surrey countryside hotel to its voco brand

This is an interesting one.
IHG is adding the Lythe Hill Hotel to its voco brand later in the Spring.
Lythe Hill is a historic country house hotel set in 22 acres of woodland on the Surrey / Sussex hills. It is a converted farm house and outbuildings on the outskirts of Haslemere, parts of which date back to the 15th century.
Don’t be fooled by this picture:
…. because it is actually quite a large complex. What is a little odd is that this is, looking at its website, a wedding venue with only a handful of rooms. This means that it will be heavily booked virtually every weekend already and potentially doesn’t need the additional ad-hoc guests that being part of IHG One Rewards will bring.
The rooms look a little dated but the spa looks decent and there is also a swimming pool:
The hotel currently has 43 rooms but IHG is saying there will soon be 99, so clearly some construction is going on prior to it adopting the voco brand
Lythe Hill is already bookable on ihg.com as an unbranded hotel, with the switch to voco still to come.
It is decent value for redemptions. All dates are currently fixed at 30,000 IHG One Rewards points whilst cash rates in Summer reach £200 for entry level rooms.
You may prefer to pay cash regardless, however. Oddly, whilst the entry level rooms can reach £200, the top suites are only £240. I’d pay the extra £40 and enjoy massively more space.
The hotel is here on ihg.com.
PS. IHG has also added three new UK Holiday Inn hotels recently:
- Holiday Inn Manchester Oldham (the refurbished Best Western Smokies Park)
- Holiday Inn Sunderland (a new build in the city centre)
- Holiday Inn Manchester Airport (we hope to take a look at this soon)
