The former Marks Tey Hotel, on the outskirts of Colchester, has undergone a remarkable transformation. Following a £6.5 million renovation and a rebranding, it has since emerged as the prestigious Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester. The results are truly impressive, and the hotel is virtually unrecognisable from its previous status.
The Hotel is the now the largest in the city, boasting 131 spacious bedrooms featuring plush bedding, modern bathrooms and dedicated workspaces for relaxation and productivity. Calming neutral tones with contrasting black and brass accents give a gentle nod to the English eccentric influence in these accommodations, finished to the very highest of standards.
Rooms featuring two king-size beds, ideal for families, are proving particularly popular.
A modern and elegant lounge area provides the perfect solution for intimate business meetings, serving Starbucks by day and in the evening, a vibrant bar atmosphere to enjoy casual drinks. The new restaurant serving international classics and Indian fusion cuisine, including authentic specialty dishes, is also available to non-residents.
442 square metres of function space provide ideal facilities for conferences, meetings, social events and weddings, the new Orangery taking centre stage with it’s stunning skylights and private bar.
For those looking to stay active the Hotel also features a fully equipped gym, a standout pool, steam room and sauna, available to residents and members.
The high-class and stylish design throughout, coupled with unrivalled customer service, certainly make it an ideal destination for both business and leisure travellers.
With sustainability a key focus, the Delta Hotel by Marriott Colchester is proud to be a part of the local community. As a supporter of the Colchester Zoological Society and sponsor of the red panda habitat, they offer cute and furry red panda soft toys for sale at the hotel. All sales and profits generated from these go directly to the zoo.
Commitment to sustainability extends beyond this partnership, supporting smaller businesses by sourcing local ingredients, recycling waste wherever possible, motion sensor LED lighting, avoiding single-use plastics, providing free filtered water to all residential guests and offering electric Tesla car chargers on-site.
