Boutique hotel operator Manorview Group has added the Brisbane House Hotel in Largs to its portfolio, marking its 10th property.
The Scottish group, who were last year crowned Independent Multiple Operator of the Year at the 2021 SLTN Awards, said it has had “growth plans firmly in their sight for some time”.
Manorview added it has “vast experience” in operating suburban and rural businesses that serve the local community as well as tourists and visitors. Its collection includes the nearby Bowfield Hotel and Country Club in Howwood, the recently revamped Redhurst in Giffnock and Cornhill Castle in Biggar.
The group said it will continue to operate the venue as it is, and all bookings made at the hotel will be honoured.
Steve Graham, founder and director of Manorview, said: “Brisbane House is a fantastic fit for our varied portfolio of boutique hotels. We have admired it for a long time and many of the team have been frequent customers themselves. It mirrors the venues that we already operate in lots of ways. But like everything in our collection, it also has something unique that we didn’t already have for our expanding customer base.
“The location is fantastic.Largs has so much to offer both the local people and visitors from near and far. And with its coastal setting, the hotel itself not only boasts stunning views, we feel it also gives guests a real sense of escape and relaxation. We are delighted to become the custodians of this iconic Largs venue. We look forward to working with the existing team and greeting regular and new customers.”
MD David Tracey added: “Brisbane already has a great reputation amongst customers. Our focus is on getting to know the team, supporting them through this transition, and getting to grips with what the customers want and need from the business. Like many of our venues, Brisbane House will also host a number of weddings this year, and we’re excited to deliver these special days for our brides and grooms.
“Like any of our properties, I’m sure we will find opportunities to create something wonderful and new for our guests. But the short-term plan is very much to focus on the team and ensure consistent quality for our guests throughout this changeover.”
