Malmaison refurbishing Dundee listed landmark to create new hotel 




26 July 2012

Malmaison has announced that it is to refurbish the vacant Tay Hotel, a
listed city centre landmark constructed in 1889 in the Scottish coastal town
of Dundee. 

Interserve, the international support services and construction group, has
been appointed as main contractor on a refurbishment project to create the
new Dundee Malmaison hotel. Works commenced in June and completion is
scheduled for twelve months later.

The project forms part of the £1 billion Dundee Central Waterfront
Development, an integral phase in the city's multi-billion pound
regeneration of its historic waterfront, which will include the new £45
million Victoria & Albert museum. Around 150 full and part time construction
jobs have been created thanks to the £15 million development, with a further
120 new jobs to be made available once the hotel opens. 

In keeping with the prestigious Malmaison brand, the structure is being
redeveloped to create an international standard lifestyle boutique hotel. It
will comprise a bar/lounge area with whisky snug and wine cellar, a
restaurant with a private dining room and wine tasting and 91 bedrooms and
suites. 

As part of the conservation project, Interserve will replace sash and
casement windows and timber shutters, repair a feature lead dome on the
building’s roof, make good stonework, refurbish a feature staircase and
cupola located on the stairs' landing and replace or redress Scottish slates
on the building's mansard roof. In addition, the existing structures and
fire escape staircase in the atrium were rotten and had collapsed. The
company is required to rebuild these.

Scott Harper, Brand Directory, Malmaison said: "We are proud to be bringing
Malmaison to Dundee, a city with a great heritage and an exciting future
with the Waterfront Development and the V&A museum. Working with our
partners Interserve we are looking forward to restoring the former Tay Hotel
to its former glory with of course a contemporary Mal twist."

Malmaison's new hotel in Dundee is due to open in May 2013.

A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then...
