The Weston Hotel in Scarborough, Yorkshire, has been sold to a new owner for an undisclosed amount.
The property, which is located on the seafront in the town’s south bay, has 32 bedrooms and has recently undergone a full internal and external refurbishment.
The sale comes as its previous owners, John Simms and Pat Hendry, who have run the hotel for around 12 years, are selling the property to retire.
Simms said: “We have really enjoyed our time here and have some wonderful memories. The Weston Hotel has been our life and we leave with a heavy heart but knowing that the new owners, who are themselves highly experienced hoteliers, will continue to operate the hotel in much the same way that it is now.
“We wish them every success and hope that our long list of loyal customers will continue the support they have shown us.”
Mark Worley, hotel director at Christie and Co, who handled the sale, said: “Scarborough is a hugely popular tourist destination and one of the busiest seaside towns in the UK. It has a multitude of attractions including its imposing castle, glorious beaches and its proximity to the North York Moors National Park plus the stunning Yorkshire coastline dotted with quaint and historic places such as Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay and Sandsend.
“It’s easy to see why this part of the world is so popular with hotel buyers and I look forward to announcing more transactions in the coming months.”
