United Kingdom Hastings Lansdowne The Best Hotel Deals

During the first half of 2010, the Lansdowne Hotel was taken over by new owners and has since been undergoing many changes and improvements. The Lansdowne is located in Robertson Terrace, which was named after Patrick Robertson, the Conservative Member of Parliament, who was responsible for the development of this very elegant area in the early 1850’s. The history of the Robertson Street/town centre area in Hastings is far richer and more extraordinary than many people would ever believe. An area covered by Harold Place, the Queens Hotel, Robertson Terrace, Carlisle Parade, White Rock, Robertson Street, Trinity Street, and Claremont, this area to the West of the Priory-Stream was outside the Hastings Borough boundary and was the result of the sea receding. The occupants living in the area hoisted the American Stars and Stripes flag which was a symbol for victory and declared independence. This is how the area became known as the America Ground. Situated in what has to be one of the most prime locations of Hastings seafront, everything you need is right on your doorstep, whatever your requirements. Since taking over in June 2010 we have made many changes i.e. all the beds has been changed with memory foam mattresses, there is WI-FI in 80% of the rooms. We have put all new linen, new pillows, duvets, net curtains and flat screen televisions in all rooms. We have improved the lounge area with draught beer on tap and free internet for our guests as well as new sofas. As you can appreciate there is a limited amount we can do in peak season. We intend to carry out some of the major works in winter when we will close off the top floor and do a total refurb on this floor. We will put in new windows, shower rooms, ceilings, carpets and all new fixtures and fittings. We hope to do at least one or possibly two flors this way while keeping disruption to a minimum.
