Village Hotels plans for expansion
Village Hotel Club has announced expansion plans that will take the group’s portfolio count to 50 by 2026. Currently with 29 hotels across the UK, the chain plans to open five hotels in the next two years with 15 more to follow. The group’s research indicates over 100 potential Village Hotel locations across the UK.
Executive Chairman Gary Davis reveals these plans as the hotel chain opened its 30th hotel this month, in Filton, Bristol. The five new Village Hotel Clubs set to open by 2020 will be located in Southampton, Basingstoke, Cambridge, Milton Keynes and Slough.
Davis comments: “At Village Hotel Club, we do things differently. For us it is all about being a part of the local community – not only through investment in the local area, but in offering both guests and local residents alike the opportunity to take advantage of our full lifestyle offering. We offer more than just rooms, but a thriving hub for locals, gym goers, the business community and guests for our events, such as our hugely popular live tribute acts.
“The openings in Bristol this year, and Portsmouth last year, mark a turning point in Village Hotel Club’s expansion plans, and Bristol is our most high-tech hotel to date. We are continuing to innovate and develop the product with the modern visitor and resident in mind, and I look forward to working with the entire Village team to ensure that we continue to deliver success.”
In September, the hotel and health club chain announced a nationwide campaign, The Village Green, which will see the business roll out a range of charity and community initiatives across its 30 hotels.
