Built in the mid nineteenth century, the hotel was originally made up of three grand town houses. Not until the 1960’s did the hotel as we know it convert to become the impressive venue it is today. Still embracing the architectural delights of the period on the outside, the hotel remains one of the most imposing and wonderful buildings in Guildford.
Owned by the Christie family from it’s infancy until the late 1990’s, the hotel has continued to be a family run business. Purchased from the Christies in 1998 by the Hay family, the hotel has taken on several new and exciting dimensions. Refurbished, updated and expanded, by 2001 the hotel had now 72 en suite bedrooms, making it one of the largest independently owned hotels in Surrey.
The expansion did not stop in 2001. By the summer of 2006 the largest conference and events centre had been added to an already striking local landmark. Guildford finally had the most diverse catering establishment in the area. Overnight stays, conferencing, events and weddings are now commonplace in a continually growing and improving venue.
In late 2008, the hotel, now known as Mandolay Hotel & Conference Centre, completed it’s refurbishment of the restaurant, m. Brasserie & Grill. Ongoing development has continued and in addition to a new restaurant, the summer of 2009 will see the opening of m. Bar & Lounge, Mandolay’s answer to sophisticated and pleasurable drinking in the most relaxed of environments.
