John Sisk & Son Ltd (Sisk), one of the largest construction groups in the UK and Ireland, is to construct a brand new hotel for Holiday Inn on the Winnersh Triangle Business Park, Reading.

The client is Meridian Leisure Hotels, which operates the Holiday Inn franchise.

The £14.5m, 8 floor development comprises 174 rooms over 6 floors, and will be located conveniently for both business and leisure travellers in the so-called Winnersh Triangle, near M4 Junction 10.


The new hotel will comprise a pre-cast concrete frame and the design will incorporate timber feature recesses. Inside, a conference facility capable of holding a total of 450 delegates in 7 rooms will be available. These rooms include partitioned walls that can be removed to form 4 larger rooms, the largest with a maximum occupancy of 180. The hotel also features a restaurant and leisure facilities with a guest swimming pool.

Work is due to start in mid April and Sisk will remain on site for a total of 55 weeks, up to the completion date in May 2010.
