Norris Castle to be transformed into 110-bed hotel | Daily Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5289727/18th-century-castle-transformed-110-bed-hotel.html)

QuoteA Grade I listed 18th Century castle which was too expensive for Queen Victoria is to be transformed into a luxury 110-bed hotel and wedding venue.

Built in 1799, the prestigious Norris Castle, in East Cowes, Isle of Wight, will have multi-million pound restoration work done to create 16 stunning function rooms, a spa and hotel guest rooms.

The castle has retained many of its original features over the years, with one of the rooms still having the shower and bath designed for German Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm II, who was a regular visitor.
