Camberley Hotel Company will pump $32 million into the former Club Med property in St. George's if it leases the East End hotel.

And details of where that money will go have now come to light.

Camberley president Ian Lloyd-Jones explained that the company's goal was to integrate the hotel property with the surrounding area, including the Town of St. George's and the nearby forts.

"We are going to make the building look like it has been there since the turn of the century,'' said Mr. Lloyd-Jones.

"There's a sense of timelessness at that end of the Island but right now it sticks out like a sore thumb.'' And the company hopes that redoing the building's "skin'' to the tune of $1.45 million will help change that.

"We will create a much different look to the hotel.'' A further $300,000 will be spent on upgrading neighbouring Fort Albert and in excess of $1 million will go into revamping the hotel's pool and beach areas and the surrounding grounds.

Inside, Camberley's efforts to create a masterpiece will continue.

The top floor, which features 20-foot-ceilings and massive picture windows that only Club Med's staff were able to enjoy because that was where the hotel installed its kitchens, will get a $3.5 million improvement.

Guests will then be able to enjoy the commanding views of the Island from the 25 split-level duplex penthouse suites that will be built there.

A further $4.5 million will go into improving the hotel's guest rooms and corridors.

Public areas will get a facelift with $2.9 million going towards upgrading the hotel's lobby bar, restaurant and cabaret room.

Meanwhile, $1.67 million will be spent on fire safety and security equipment and $1.15 million will go toward retro-fitting the hotel's electrical system.

Guests will not be the only people involved at the East End site to receive benefits from Camberley's work as the company will put $350,000 into retro-fitting the employee housing at the hotel.

And Camberley will contribute approximately $0.5 million toward the construction of a sewage plant and with retro-fitting the two million gallon water tank at the site.

Government will then operate both of these so Camberley can concentrate in the hotel.

Resolving this issue was a major hurdle Camberley felt it had to clear before signing a lease.

Mr. Lloyd-Jones added that getting a firm labour agreement in place was just as important and discussions with the Bermuda Industrial Union had produced this.

"I know I can do business with the Union and (BIU president) Derrick Burgess,'' he said.
