Work has begun on clearing the site at the back of the Alton Towers Hotel for the brand new extension coming in 2017. The conservatory sections of the Spa has been removed and bordered up and groundworks have begun of where the new hotel foundations will be built.
No opening date or theme has been set for the hotel extension but we would expect it to be ready for the summer season next year.

This morning Alton Towers announced on their Facebook page that it will be opening the worlds first CBeebies Land Hotel! The hotel extension currently under construction next to the Alton Towers Hotel will open in 2017 and will open with 76 new hotel rooms, 1 new restaurant and will be four stories high.
With its own dedicated entertainment area and reception this is going to be a big extension for the resort. 42 of the rooms will be standard CBeebies Bugbies room and then there will be 26 premium rooms featuring characters from the CBeebies franchise.
Gill Riley, Marketing Director at Alton Towers Resort:
"The CBeebies Land Hotel is a hugely exciting new development for us. With an existing range of unique accommodation and the amazing CBeebies Land already here at the resort, combining the two is going to create a fully themed hotel experience where everything is exclusively designed for young families.”
With news of a new ride in the works for the 2017 theme park season the park have also confirmed the the new ride will be located in-between the big fun showtime area and the tree fu tom training camp. The ride will be like the Flying Jumbos at Alton Towers sister park Chessington World Of Adventures.

Due to the constriction of the Alton Towers Hotel extension, the Woodland Walk path has now closed for the foreseeable future.
Hopefully when the hotel extension is built a new route into the woodland walk will be added as this quick route into the park is a great option for when the monorail queue is too long.

In the past week Alton Towers Resort have submitted planning applications to the local authorities to extended the Alton Towers hotel. The plans will replace the previously approved spa extension. The new plans will add 74 more bedrooms along with a new reception area, more parking spaces and a new buffet restaurant for 204 guests.
A new car park for the Enchanted Village will also be created where the archery range is currently located adding 88 parking spaces including 4 disabled spaces. Access into the Village appears to be using the current path used to get from the village to the Alton Towers hotel. If approved we believe that work will start in February 2016 with the opening believed to be Summer time 2017.
