Nearing completion, the 140-bed Hampton by Hilton Hotel is part of the larger Victoria Point Development in Ashford.
What makes this development unique is each of the 140 guest rooms has been built using modular construction (to Hilton Standards).
Each module provides 2 guestrooms and a corridor section which comes fully fitted out with minimal on-site work required for a ready to use guest room.
Mechanical, electrical and drainage service connections are provided via a pod riser located between each of the 2 modules.
Fire alarm, TV & data wiring are the only works which need to be carried out within the module on site via conduits/wireways installed by the module manufacturer.
Each module takes 5-6 minutes to be installed from the time of delivery to site.
