Saintly acquisition expands Welsh presence for The Inn Collection Group
The Newcastle-based operator has bought the 60-room establishment as it continues its expansion beyond its north of England heartlands and brings its total number of venues to 33.
Located on the central promenade in the popular seaside town and dating back to 1854, St Kilda lays between the Great Orme and Little Orme headlands and overlooks Llandudno Bay.
Under family ownership for the past 21 years, the new acquisition joins the Swallow Falls Hotel in Betws-y-Coed and The Bull in Beaumaris as properties owned by the group in North Wales.
“We are absolutely delighted to be bringing The St Kilda Hotel into our pubs with rooms family and continue our expansion into Wales,” says Sean Donkin, managing director of The Inn Collection Group.
“What sets The Inn Collection Group aside is the exceptional locations of our trading environments and their beautiful outdoor localities and the St Kilda is a perfect match.
“It’s of the correct size to enhance our presence in the area and we’re thrilled to be having it join our existing coastal properties that delight guests in the North East, North Yorkshire and the Lake District.
“We are passionate about investing in unique sites like the St Kilda and making them special places to eat, drink, sleep and explore from and we’re looking forward to it being part of our new chapter as part of the community fabric here in North Wales.”
Completed with the help of Christie & Co's Manchester office, the St Kilda Hotel is The Inn Collection Group’s sixth purchase of 2022 as it continues to expand with its ‘buy and build’ growth plans.
