Just got back from the resort and have noticed quite a few changes / revamps taking place throughout the resort hotels. If any body else has any closed season pics feel free to post them here - Sorry for the quality guys
Alton Towers Hotel
New / Revamped Dragon Bar
New entrance with folding doors, bar, flooring, seating and lighting.
New door to the Show control area / vending machine removed?
The Ship in the Alton Towers Hotel is also receiving a paint job
Splash Landings Hotel
New Splash Landings Hotel sign above the hotel entrance

Nice, good to see some improvements being made at the hotels. Towers seem to have focussed a lot more work there of late than fixing up the park IMO - would be good if they shared the improvements (maybe they are).
Splash's new sign looks nice, finally puts the newer revision of the logo at the entrance (only about 4 years since they changed it!)

WOW the refurb dragon bar looks amazing but im not sure about the new splash landings sign though
I agree, although the hotel needed a logo I think it would have looked better if they attached that sign to the water feature instead of the hotel as it covers up the window etc. and know longer looks like a hotel etc...
Just to add, maintenance was wondering around the Waterpark today, by the looks of it looking for parts to be fixed throughout the January closed period.
It's all looking fantastic... apart from the "Dragons Bar" sign. It looks awfully cheap.
I do really applaud the hotels a lot, they really do so much work year-on-year to keep them up to a very high standard. I've noticed each year how some rooms and corridors have also had a bit of work done. Great stuff, keep it up Alton!

Just need to sort out the ATH bathrooms and they'll be onto a winner.
I agree. The bathrooms in ATH are hideousely plain. Also, on my last visit, there were a load of dead flies above the wash baisin inside the lights. Also, the sink was all cracked and the shower leaked!
So they can't make it look modern at the same time as Oriental? It's a classy, modern take on the sort of clichéd look of Chinese restaurants. I think it works rather well.
i would guess the sign is temporary, as it looks very cheap and doesnt even have the correct name on it.
Also I thought the folding doors have always been there, just never used.
I do like the dragon bar, its pretty. I mentioned this in another thread but in the past 18 months the hotels have really had alot of effort put into them and its showing.
Since 2008
