Lisa Snowdon Spreads Joy at Windsor's Newest Hotel

TV Presenter Lisa Snowdon as 'Chief Joy Officer'

TV presenter and radio host Lisa Snowdon took on the delightful role of 'chief joy officer' for a day at Warner Hotel's latest gem, The Runnymede on Thames, located in the historic town of Windsor. This special appointment was part of the launch celebrations for the new riverside hotel. Snowdon, well-liked for her charismatic personality, surprised and thrilled guests upon check-in. Commenting on her new role, Lisa shared: "There's nothing quite like the experience of a short break it's the perfect way to reset and recharge." She also enjoyed interacting with guests, saying: "it was great to meet guests and take time out to enjoy the many things that make a short break truly magical." On her visit, she also had a chance to check out the hotel's many facilities as she was found unwinding at the spa and taking part in a cocktail masterclass. Sue Wolton, general manager of Runnymede on Thames, commended Snowdon's contribution: "It was great to work with Lisa to help showcase the joy a short break can bring; as an advocate for mental, physical, and spiritual well-being, she was the perfect candidate for the role." Wolton further noted: "Short breaks are the perfect way to recharge and escape the stresses of everyday life." Snowdon's stint as CJO is in line with a recent study by Warner Hotels that highlights the uplifting effect of mini-breaks on Brits. A survey involving 2,000 adults found that nearly half are eagerly anticipating their next getaway, keen to escape the monotony of regular routines. On average, Britons squeeze in three short trips per year, but two-thirds confess a desire to travel more frequently. Financial limitations, demanding jobs, and busy are often among the many reasons Brits struggle to go on holiday as often as they wish. A third credited getaways for boosting their mood and enhancing their well-being. And some even said breaks help strengthen their relationships. When it comes to booking a mini-break, value for money is paramount, with over half identifying it as the most crucial factor when booking. But the research also reported that getting away way more than just about the hotel. When away, half say exploring the local area brings them the most joy, 49 per cent want delicious food and drink, and 41 per cent simply take enjoyment from spending more time with loved ones. Warner Hotels' David Murdin shared: "Our latest campaign is designed to encapsulate that message, by demonstrating the more emotional connection guests have with short break experiences. "Whether that's spending quality time re-connecting with loved ones, trying new things, relaxing in beautiful surroundings or making memories that will last a lifetime."
