Exclusive Collection has announced the acquisition of Ansty Hall, a 62-bedroom hotel in North Warwickshire.
The hotel was purchased from Macdonald Hotels and becomes the seventh country-house hotel in Exclusive Collection’s portfolio.
It dates back to the 17th Century and is situated in eight acres of landscaped gardens.
The M1, M40 and M6, Birmingham Airport and HS2 are under 30-minutes away from the hotel.As well as this it is close to Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick Castle, Royal Leamington Spa, as well as Birmingham.
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. B Corp values and training will form a core part of its induction.
Danny Pecorelli, MD of Exclusive Collection, said: “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. 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.”
Henry Jackson, head of Hotel Agency at Knight Frank, added: “We are delighted to have concluded this confidential sale on behalf of Macdonald Hotels to Exclusive Collection and wish Danny and his team the very best with their future plans.”
