THE health club at the newly refurbished Daresbury Park Hotel near Warrington has opened, with over 600 local residents and workers enjoying the facilities.
The local community recently took advantage of complimentary access to the brand new health club, which comprises an indoor heated pool, steam room and spa pool, plus a gym and fitness suite.
Representatives from Tom Dean Swim School, the swimming instruction programme from the triple Olympic freestyle gold medallist, were also in attendance to answer questions from local families about the teaching that will be delivered by the school at Daresbury health club.

The new health club forms part of the multi-million pound refurbishment underway at Daresbury Park Hotel to transform it into a 4-star Elite Venue Selection hotel, with all 228 bedrooms and bathrooms fully remodelled and significantly upgraded with stylish new fixtures and furnishings. This follows on from the facility being used by the Government to house asylum seekers.
The hotel’s bar and restaurant and its seven-suite conference facilities are also being stripped and renovated alongside the reception area, all communal spaces and the external grounds.
Daresbury Park Hotel will fully open in March 2026 and will form part of the Elite Venue Selection portfolio – a collection of 15 luxurious hotel experiences in premium locations. The portfolio has been meticulously curated following a series of acquisitions to provide distinctive destinations for weddings, corporate gatherings, spa breaks and golf retreats.
Located in the Cheshire borough of Halton, Daresbury Park Hotel is just three minutes from the M56 motorway and a short drive from Warrington Quay and Runcorn East train stations and Manchester Airport. The venue benefits from a 400-space car park and is pet-friendly.
Jane Heath, Head of Sales at Elite Venue Selection, commented: “Seeing our new health club come to life has been a fantastic landmark in our redevelopment of Daresbury Park Hotel. The response from local residents and businesses during opening week has been incredibly positive and we’re pleased so many people are enjoying the new facilities. This is just the beginning of our transformation as we work towards creating a fully modernised, 4-star Elite Venue Selection hotel that will serve the community and guests for years to come.”
