Archive: Buxton Crescent won this national RICS award in 2022.
The redevelopment of Buxton Crescent Hotel won Refurbishment/Revitalisation Project of the Year at the 2022 RICS UK Awards.
The ceremony was held in London on 21 October 2022. The RICS winners’ brochure lists the Crescent in the refurbishment and revitalisation category.
Built between 1780 and 1789 for the fifth Duke of Devonshire, the Grade I listed Crescent was restored to house a hotel, thermal spa and visitor experience.
“Being the restoration of a unique Georgian building in an urban setting, which took more than two decades to come to realisation, this is a worthy winner and can be endorsed again as the restoration of the decade.” David Brooks Wilson FRICS FCIS FCT FCMI, National Refurbishment/Revitalisation Project Judge.
The hotel opened in 2020. The 2022 RICS brochure described it as an 81-bedroom hotel. Its spa includes a thermal pool beneath a stained-glass canopy; the current operator dates the pool’s wall tiles to 1924.
The Buxton Crescent Experience tells the story of the building and its spa heritage through interactive displays.
