Legacy Hotels & Resorts has revealed plans to expand its UK portfolio after acquiring two Best Western properties.
The hotel management company, who is now approaching its tenth year, will now operate the 50-room Best Western Plus Angel Hotel in Chippenham, and the 95-room Best Western Chilworth Manor Hotel & Spa in Southampton.
And Townsend, chief executive officer of Legacy Hotels & Resorts, said both venues represented a strong development opportunity for the group.
The Chippenham hotel includes a private members leisure club, conference and banqueting suites and a bar and restaurant.
“The hotel was previously been owned and operated for the past 20 years by two private hoteliers who have carefully built a solid and respected local business,” Townsend said.
“We see opportunities to carefully build on this successful business, which is the leading hotel in the area, by retaining its premier local position yet assisting it in expanding its commercial and distribution as part of a larger group.”
Chilworth Manor in Southampton is set in 12 acres and comes complete with a purpose built health club and spa. Over £200,000 has already been invested in new IT and telecoms facilities.
These are the second and third additions to Legacy's portfolio this year. The company also took over the management of the 30-bed new build Best Western Plus Magnolia Park Hotel at the Magnolia Golf and Country Club in Boarstall, Buckinghamshire.
