Apex Hotels is prepared for a “boost” to its portfolio with the opening of its newest £35m hotel in Bath.
Making it the group’s first English property outside of London, the acquisition has brought its portfolio up to 10 properties across the UK.
Apex Hotels currently has properties in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee and London.
The 177 property will open its doors in August and bring 130 new jobs to the local area. It will also be the location of Bath’s only purpose-built city centre conference facility for up to 400 guests.
Angela Vickers, chief executive officer of Apex Hotels, said: “This is a significant milestone for the business and one that we have been working towards for some time.
“The Apex City of Bath Hotel will be our first opening in England outside of London and is set to be the historic city’s largest hotel in terms of conference and events spaces and number of bedrooms.
Vickers added: “Our portfolio is stronger than ever as our presence in key cities grows year on year. Now the finishing touches are being put to Apex City of Bath Hotel, we can move our attention to new opportunities that will continue to strengthen the Apex brand.”
