JOIN USA British hotel and events management company has revealed its latest boutique offering to the market – a 75,000 sq metre, 19th Century sea fort that has been repurposed into a luxury hotel and events facility.
No Man’s Fort is one of three forts purchased by the company, Amazing Events, in the Solent strait between the Isle of Wight and Great Britain mainland, which were first built in the late 1800s to defend the English seaport city of Portsmouth against French invasions.
Amazing Events have since repurposed two of the forts into floating event spaces for private parties, corporate hire and weddings. Spitbank Fort was the first to open in 2012 and was
refurbished by an English firm of architects. No Man’s is the second and most recent to open, while the company’s third fort, called ‘Horse Sand Fort’; is slated for renovation in the near future.
No Man’s is three times the size of Spitbank Fort, offering 22 bedroom suites, compared to Spitbank’s eight, and offering a variety of facilities including sea golf, a hothouse, spa, cabaret bar and restaurants.
No Man’s is situated 2.2 kilometres from the Isle of Wight and is only accessible by helicopter or boat. It also has its own lighthouse, now a four-storey tower with panoramic views and a glass floor.
