The 37-bedroom roadside hotel (formerly known as Holt Lodge Hotel) is undergoing a £250,000 programme of investment over the next few months, due for completion in late 2024.
The hotel is remaining open while the upgrade of all 37 rooms takes place, along with the refurbishment of the main function suite.
As part of the hotel’s redevelopment, the new owners are introducing a new food and beverage brand, called The Savvy Fox Pub, which was also showcased here for the first time for guests to sample, but will officially open in September.
Along with the formal proceedings, the relaunch was also a night of fun celebration, with music from local country singer Bobby Jo Pritchard.
Hotel Wrexham’s owners, hotelier Steven Hesketh and Daniel Gillon, cofounder and managing director of Onyx Real Estate Liverpool, were delighted to see that so many of Wrexham’s business leaders and sports stars had come along to find out more about their exciting plans for the venue.

Mr Hesketh said: “On this special night, we thoroughly enjoyed having the opportunity to give our VIP guests a sneak peak of what is to come, with a tour of some of the bedrooms and revealing more details of our plans for the main function suite too. The night was just a teaser for what the future holds for our new hotel, and we can’t wait to share it with the local community.
“We’d also like to thank Wrexham Lager and the Think Wine Group for all our delicious drinks on the night.”
Hotel Wrexham is set in approximately 7.18 acres of land, located on Wrexham Road, between the village of Holt and the city of Wrexham, just five minutes from the city centre.
Plans are also in place to host a Family Fun Day at the hotel on Sunday, August 4.
