Luxury hotel and wellness retreat, Grantley Hall, in Ripon, UK, opened its doors in July 2019 following a three-year, multimillion-pound renovation. With splendour at the heart of everything, the venue decided an on-premise laundry (opl) was vital to provide the personal service they wish to offer guests.
After being blown away by superior cleaning performance and operational savings the Hydrofinity ultra-low water washing machine offers, the hotel decided to install four.
The Installation
Grantley Hall first contacted us over a year ago after seeing the impressive wash results our washing machines provide. As they are laundering nearly everything on-site (spa towels and robes to chef whites), they needed new equipment for a full laundry. After a laundry analysis and site-survey, the landmark hall purchased:
- 3 x 36kg washing machines
- 1 x 20kg washing machine
- 4 x dryers
- 1 x ironer
As building work was in action during installation which took place earlier this year, our talented team needed to keep disruption to a minimum. The laundry is located in the basement, so the equipment needed to be lowered through the floor before it was fitted. The items were carefully manoeuvred into place, before being connected and commissioned.
Anne Harrison, Head of Guest Experience at Grantley Hall commented:
