Butlins to unveil new hotel via webTV show
Butlins will open its latest hotel in Bognor Regis next week.
The new £25 million Wave Hotel will have 210 family bedrooms and 29 self-catering apartments and will sit alongside the group’s Ocean and Shoreline Hotels at the West Sussex seaside resort.
The hotel promises to "stay true to all of the qualities that have made Butlins a household name for 75 years", but with some modern touches, including a dedicated games room with Wii, PS3, DS or Band Hero games, a Kindle library and iPod docks in all the rooms.
On Monday at 2pm (UK time) the trade is being invited to check out the hotel via a live interactive webTV show.
Agents and operators are being invited to submit questions to put to Angela Griffin, who will join Jae Hopkins from Butlins and mummy blogger Antonia Chitty for the live web link.
