Huw Watson and Helen Rogers, the new owners of The Malvern hotel, spa and health club in Worcestershire, have announced plans to further grow the business.

The pair had been overseeing the running of The Malvern since September 2010 and have introduced new spa treatments, branding initiatives and special events. A second swimming pool and 30 additional rooms are now to be added as part of plans for the redevelopment of the property, which will be carried out over the next three years.

"We want to take The Malvern to a higher level in both the facilities and the service we currently offer," said Watson. "We are intent on making this a leading spa hotel which will offer excellent benefits to our members and attract visitors to our award winning spa and restaurant from far and wide."

The Malvern currently features a spa with four heat experiences - a salt grotto, a herb sauna, a crystal steam room and a kelo sauna, as well as a 20m hydrotherapy pool. Relaxation areas, an ice fountain and a bucket (drench) shower are also on offer at the spa, which uses ESPA, REN, Jessica Nails and CACI products.

Watson and Rogers, who sold their Viva Health and Leisure firm to Hilton Hotels in 1999, acquired the property from administrators last month for an undisclosed sum.
