Barnsley Resort building a new inn, conference center

Barnsley Resort in Adairsville is expanding to include a new 54-room inn and conference center and more meeting and event space.

The new three-story hotel will begin construction immediately and open in the fall of 2017, Barnsley officials said in a release. The additional rooms will bring Barnsley’s total accommodations count up to 150 rooms and suites.

Around 100 new jobs are expected to be created by the project.

“We are thrilled to expand the offerings at Barnsley Resort to meet a frequent request of our guests and clients,” spokesman Matthew Saul said. “We will maintain the intimate, exclusive feel that makes Barnsley Resort so special while being able to accommodate a broader range of corporate groups and social events.”

The resort will continue to operate during the construction.
