Da Vinci’s Hotel plans £2.5m refurbishment in Derry

Da Vinci’s Hotel in Derry, Northern Ireland, is scheduled for a £2.5m refurbishment, planned for completion by August 2026. The project will focus on upgrading 65 bedrooms, the main bar, restaurant, and conference facilities to enhance guest comfort and operational efficiency.

Conceptual illustrations released on the hotel’s social media accounts indicate modernised interiors, highlighting streamlined layouts, updated furnishings, and improved spatial functionality. Fit out contractors will implement these designs across all guest areas, aligning aesthetics with practical operational requirements.

The refurbishment will be phased, with bedroom upgrades expected to be completed by Spring 2026. Public areas, including the main bar and dining spaces, are planned to receive material enhancements, upgraded lighting, and improved circulation to support service delivery and visitor experience.

Project planning will be communicated to stakeholders, ensuring continuity of operations during the fit out. The hotel will maintain service standards while work progresses across multiple areas.

The investment represents a substantial fit out commitment in Northern Ireland’s hospitality market, offering opportunities for suppliers, contractors, and designers in high-value commercial refurbishment projects. Operational enhancements are also intended to support conference and event hosting, increasing post-refurbishment revenue potential.

Da Vinci’s Hotel, first opened in 1986, remains a notable venue in Derry, and the planned refurbishment will reinforce its position in the regional hotel sector. Contractors and suppliers for joinery, electrical works, and interior fit out will coordinate closely to meet the proposed schedule.

The initiative underlines ongoing demand for modernisation in the hotel sector and highlights the strategic importance of fit out investments in improving guest experience and commercial performance.
