Asia-based Compass Hospitality Group has signed up its 8th hotel in UK with the management of The Victoria Hotel in Chadderton, Oldham located about 11 kilometres northeast of Manchester.
The hotel was jointly acquired by Singapore based Seacare Hospitality Pte Ltd and Compass Hospitality.
The 1800 Victorian-styled hotel has 72-beds, a restaurant, a lounge, function rooms, landscaped gardens for outdoor events, and on-site car parking.
Once a manor house, the property was refurbished into a hotel and many of its rooms and suites have nice garden views. At Mr. Brown’s Restaurant, guests enjoy their meals in cozy surroundings with a large marine fish tank as an added feature. In addition to the restaurant, drinks, snacks and afternoon teas can be enjoyed at the Lounge which adjoins the hotel reception lobby.
For hosted events and weddings, The Elizabeth accommodates up to 200 guests while The MacNeil can host smaller groups of up to 100. For even smaller functions and dinners, The George-Eliot is an ideal choice with its coffered ceiling, elegant interiors and its own separate pre-function foyer.
Compass Hospitality Group’s first entry into the UK market was in April 2015, having secured the management of The Lion Hotel Shrewsbury and The White Swan Halifax.
Since then, the UK portfolio has expanded to include the Big Sleep Hotels portfolio, which Compass and Seacare acquired, in Cardiff, Cheltenham and Eastbourne in August 2015.
Compass also operates The Lace Market Hotel in Nottingham and recently on 1 February, Hawkwell House Hotel in Oxford.
Compass Hospitality’s President & CEO, Harmil Singh said, “Within ten months of our entry into the UK market in April 2015, we now have eight hotels under management in the UK. The Victoria Hotel marks an important milestone and we intend to build on our market presence here.”
