UK: The Max Hotel at the Royal York Buildings near Brighton’s seafront has been placed in administration.
The 51-bedroom property was built in 1771 as a residential home, and was converted into a hotel in 1819 and named the Royal York. Over its lifespan it has welcomed royal visitors, politicians and writers. Then, after a 70=year spell as local authority offices, it was converted back to hotel by The Imperial Property Company in 2006.
In 2011, the hotel’s food and beverage operation was taken over by Pure Pop Up Restaurants & Events, part of hospitality management company Evensus, according to Caterer.com.
