  • Elegant function rooms for private and corporate events 
  • On-site leisure complex

With refurbishment plans in place, the hotel is now actively welcoming enquiries for events and group bookings ahead of its transformation, offering a unique opportunity for agents and event planners to secure prime dates and highly competitive rates before the repositioning.

Christine Ferris, National Agency Sales Manager at Legacy Hotels & Resorts, commented:

“We are incredibly proud to welcome the New Continental Hotel into the Legacy portfolio. This marks an exciting opportunity to expand our presence in a key regional destination, working in partnership with the hotel’s ownership to support its future transformation, including a full refurbishment and rebrand to Tapestry Collection by Hilton. It’s a fantastic addition for our agency partners, offering both immediate value and strong long-term potential.”
