UK: The historic Castle Hotel in Conwy, North Wales, has been bought by the Coaching Inn Group.
The Grade I listed hotel has been owned and run by the Lavin and Tinsley families for the past 16 years, and will continue to be run by hotel manager Joe Lavin and his 60-strong team.                 Â
Kevin Charity, founder and CEO of The Coaching Inn Group, said: “We’re delighted to have acquired the Castle Hotel. It is one of the very best examples of a thriving family-run hotel, which has been sympathetically enhanced to combine heritage with a boutique hotel experience.”
“The hotel has been profitably run for the past 16 years and we look forward to working with Joe Lavin and his excellent team to further grow the Castle’s reputation and attract even more visitors and guests,” he added.
Built on the site of a Cistercian abbey, the 300-year-old 27 bedroom Castle Hotel retains many of its original features, including stone mullion windows and fire surrounds. It has a bar, restaurant and beauty salon.
The Coaching Inn Group has 13 historic venues across the UK and recently embarked on a £50 million expansion programme across the UK.
