Splendid Hospitality Group acquires fourth hotel in York

The Splendid Hospitality Group has increased its presence in York with the acquisition of the Ibis York Centre hotel.

Located at the gates of the city walls, the Ibis York Centre comprises 91 en-suite bedrooms with free Wi-Fi and satellite television.

The hotel has a café and bar serving hot and cold snacks, a contemporary meeting room and car park for up to 20 cars. It is within walking distance from York Station and 48km from Leeds Bradford Airport.

Splendid Hospitality Group is planning to invest £1.5m upgrading the hotel, which will continue trading as an Ibis.

Stuart Bailey, CEO for the Splendid Hospitality Group, said: “This is a strategic acquisition for Splendid Hospitality and an ideal fit for our expanding regional portfolio with three existing hotels in York.

“The Ibis York Centre hotel boasts one of the most central locations in York making it equally suitable for both the business and leisure travellers. Ibis belongs to the Accor brand portfolio and we are pleased to further enhance our partnership with Accor.”

The expanding Splendid Hospitality Group portfolio now has 20 hotels and this acquisition follows the purchase of the Mercure Bristol Brigstow.

The Ibis York Centre hotel joins the group’s three other properties in the city including The Grand Hotel & Spa, Hotel Indigo York and Holiday Inn Express York.

The group owns other city centre hotels in London, Oxford, Edinburgh and Leeds.
