Macdonald Hotels Opens Windsor Hotel

EDINBURGH, September 13, 2010 - Macdonald Hotels has announced the opening of its new Windsor property.

The Macdonald Windsor Hotel (
www.macdonaldhotels.co.uk/windsor/index.htm) offers 120 luxury
bedrooms in the heart of the historic town. The Royal Borough is home to some
of the most well known attractions and the Macdonald Windsor Hotel offers the
perfect base to experience them from. Guests can relax in Savill Gardens,
situated within Windsor Great Park, soak up the heritage of Eton College with
its historic buildings, or enjoy a relaxing boat trip or romantic horse drawn
carriage through the park.

The hotel near Windsor Castle (

on the site of the old Caley's department store. The shop had a long heritage
within the Windsor community, serving the Royal Family from 1813 and it is a
site local residents know well.

As well as being is a key tourist location, the Macdonald Windsor Hotel
is also a convenient business location with easy access to London, the M4
corridor, a large number of FTSE100 companies and a transport link via
Heathrow airport

The luxury hotel in Windsor (

offers facilities to cater for large conferences and events of up to 150
delegates in the main meeting room which is supported by a second meeting
room for up to 70 delegates. Smaller board meetings will be hosted in two
executive boardrooms for 25 delegates each, and an additional two syndicate
rooms for 10 will be available to book for breakaway sessions.

Beverley Molmans has been appointed the first manager of Macdonald
Windsor Hotel and, with more than 12 years' experience of working at
Macdonald Hotels, Beverley is eagerly anticipating the grand opening and
welcoming guests from across the globe. He said: "To be appointed manager of
Macdonald's newest flagship hotel is a tremendous and exciting opportunity -
I can't for the hotel to open and welcoming our first guests."
