UK: Independent hotel group Exclusive Collection has purchased Ansty Hall in North Warwickshire from Macdonald Hotels.
The 62-bedroom property marks the seventh addition to the Exclusive Collection portfolio of country house hotels. It joins Pennyhill Park, South Lodge, The Manor House, Lainston House, Royal Berkshire, and Fanhams Hall.
Ansty Hall sits on eight acres of landscaped gardens and dates back to the 17th century. The Grade II-listed manor will continue to be operated by Exclusive Collection whilst a new brand identity is created.
Danny Pecorelli, MD of Exclusive Collection, said: “It’s been a long-term ambition to extend our reach towards the Midlands and Ansty Hall fits nicely with the collection through its significant history and stunning setting.
“We will be embedding B Corp standards and our core values into the hotel and its people, gently bringing the hotel in line with the Exclusive Collection brand. While each of our properties has its own voice and history, they’re all united by our purpose to create happiness in amazing places, with a real emphasis on using our business as a force for good. We’re excited to bring this proposition to the Midlands.”
Henry Jackson, head of hotel agency at Knight Frank which oversaw the transaction, added: “We are delighted to have concluded this confidential sale on behalf of Macdonald Hotels to Exclusive Collection and wish Danny and his team the very best with their future plans.”
