Emma Beddall has been appointed as the General Manager at Cowley Manor, A Curious Group of Hotels’ stunning Cotswold country house hotel and spa, with effect from from mid-October.
Having worked at a number of well-established heritage hotels and spa resorts, Emma arrives at Cowley Manor with almost 30 years of industry experience and expertise. Joining the hotel at a hugely exciting time, Emma will oversee the formal opening of MALT, a beautifully crafted new social dining concept, following a major refurbishment this autumn, as well as leading Cowley Manor through a number of redevelopment plans in the year ahead.
Emma progressed quickly through the ranks, overseeing a number of key managerial roles at 4-star Radisson Edwardian properties throughout the UK including The Mountbatten, The Berkshire, The Grafton and The Savoy Court – overseeing part of its re-opening. Following a string of successful roles, Emma took the reins as General Manager at Cotswold88 Hotel in Painswick, responsible for the pre-opening and official launch of the hotel in 2007 – a key turning point in her career.
A year later, she was then appointed General Manager of the Kandinsky Hotel in Cheltenham. This was shortly followed, by yet another pivotal role, as General Manager for over six years at Grovefield House Hotel in Buckinghamshire.
Emma comments: “It is fantastic to be joining Cowley Manor at such a pivotal time. I have long been inspired by the group’s creative approach and ability for discovering such beautiful hotels in wonderful locations. I look forward to working with the team, and integrating with the local community, continuing to build on its exceptional reputation and providing a memorable and unique experience for guests.”
Surrounded by 55 acres of parkland, woods and meadows, Cowley Manor and its award-winning design and architecture combined to pioneer a new wave of contemporary country house hotels. With emphasis on comfort, service and very few rules, Cowley Manor is the ideal place to relax, unwind and indulge in the heart of the British countryside.
