Brooklands Hotel

WE HAVE OFFERED TWO REVIEWS OF BROOKLANDS HOTEL FOR YOU, OUR HOTEL REVIEW, AND IN PART TWO, THE SPA AND HEALTH CLUB. This five star luxury hotel is a joy to be seen, with art deco interiors, contemporary architecture, having all the mod cons you could wish for, and something to behold, and it certainly has become well known for its stylish, elegant interiors. With one of the best known restaurants in Surrey, the 1920’s 2AA rosette 1907 restaurant and its bar is just the place to dine, or perhaps enjoy their afternoon tea on the terrace, or simply relax over coffee and watch the world go by as you admire the ambience and glamour of the 20’s and 30’ unusual features around you, based on the theme of the first and famous motor racing circuit on Brooklands, opened in 1907 (the TV Downton Abbey used this track for scenes in their production) but the original track closed in 1939, but still in use today as the test track for Mercedes-Benz. You can enjoy re-living the past of this historical track by visiting Brooklands museum, situated right alongside the hotel, then you can choose to visit either the Mercedes-Benz world museum /cars) or the Brooklands museum (aircraft, including Concord ) or go and visit the London bus museum (transport). A bit expensive to see all three, but it will be a full days viewing to enjoy all of them to the full. OUR REVIEW We were grateful for the use of our sat NAV to get us to Brooklands, and then found a large car park available for us by the hotel (photo 1) with the Mercedes-Benz world museum across the road from us, and a view of the old famous racing track (photo 2). The modern Brooklands hotel looked inviting (3) and a number of disabled bays were available close to the hotel entrance, and outside the 1907 restaurant (4). The level entry had a sliding automatic door (5) taking us into a wide opened area (6) for the reception desk (photo 7) Where we were greeted by a friendly and helpful receptionist, who quickly arranged for staff to come and show us around the hotel, (And it’s here you MUST REGISTER YOUR CAR to avoid any fine) and we saw what they meant by displaying the unusual but attractive decorations and implements that line the hotel area (8) and ahead we found the bar area for 1907 restaurant (9) and a warm polished wooden floor offered plenty of space to push around the wheelchair (10) with comfortable leather seating and polished tables (11) that guided our eyes towards the well stocked bar (12) and coffee bar, where we were quickly served with a welcoming hot drink (13). The entry into restaurant lay open for us (14) and looked rather posh and most certainly a dining area we would consider if having time later for lunch (15) and again with plenty of room to be able to get wheelchair to the table (16) with a decent selection of wines and spirits on display (17). Disabled toilets were close by just beyond the tables (18) and these were spotlessly clean, modern facilities, and enough room for wheelchair to be taken inside cubicle if needed and to be spun around (19). So all in all, the hotel was living up to its reputation worthy of its 5 stars given, and what was pleasing is that the exit from the bar area itself had a door leading right out to the parked disabled cars for disable use (photo 20). OUR FINAL THOUGHTS This is a very nice hotel, interesting, beautifully decorated throughout, a safe place, and very clean wherever you go, with pleasant staff who are willing to support you. We certainly recommend this hotel, you will be comfortable here.

The hotel had a very nice health club, beautifully decorated, with modern facilities to help you improve your own health. Let’s show you around then OUR REVIEW We begin with giving you details about the disabled bedrooms, as this is a hotel we recommend you staying at when in the area around WEYBRIDGE and Ascot. Having parked the car, and registered your car number plate at the reception desk, (photo 1) and if staying here, book in now. Take the lift up to your floor number, and a small corridor will lead you to your room (photo 2) and the room we reviewed turned out to be huge (3) with a very good size and comfortable looking bed (4) The bathroom was very modern, spotlessly clean, lots of room in there, and a walk in shower (5) and if needed a connecting door to next room is available, ideal if you have children, or your carer needs to be close to you (6) and if not needed, there is plenty of space to store the wheelchair, and move around the room. Now we need to check out the health club. First of all, down on ground floor by reception desk, a small passage lies over to the left for the door into the Gym (photo 7) which is just off the lovely looking corridor (8) and inside you will have the use of the very modern and up to date equipment needed for your exercise this morning (9). Now take the lift up to second floor (10) and you will see the entry into the health club (11) and up to its reception desk (12) where you will book in for your treatments today. There is plenty of space to move your wheelchair around (13) in this delightful club, with lots of various seating areas (14) and and you will be escorted along a pleasantly furnished corridor (15) to the changing room, if needed (16) depending on what you choose to do today. All the rooms are delightful and different, with up to date facilities (17) such as the heated rooms provided for different treatments, all modern and very clean (18) and then you can settle in to the heated loungers that will help you with any ailment you need support with (19) and then to help you cool off again, with a cup of coffee or perhaps a healthy alternative, why not sit out on the deck in the lounger while watching the racing cars race past you (20). All in all a wonderful health club will make your visit most enjoyable. OUR FINAL THOUGHTS. This review is to help provide our thoughts about staying here overnight and to enjoy their health club facilities, but to see hotel at its best, read our first review for Brooklands hotel. We certainly recommend you considering this lovely modern hotel and its health club, where we know you will be well looked after.
