Exclusive Collection buys Ansty Hall in Warwickshire

The hotel group has purchased the 62-bedroom hotel from Macdonald Hotels for what is its seventh country-house hotel in its collection.

The Grade II listed manor dates back to the 17t century and sits in eight acres of landscaped gardens. It joins Exclusive Collection’s existing venues Pennyhill Park in Bagshot, South Lodge in West Sussex, The Manor House in Wiltshire, Lainston House in Hampshire, Royal Berkshire in Ascot, and Fanhams Hall in Hertfordshire,

“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,” says Exclusive Collection managing director Danny Pecorelli.

“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.”

The hotel will be operated in tandem with the other Exclusive Collection properties while a new brand identity is established alongside the completion of any initial capital expenditure projects.
