Keavil House Hotel, a Best Western Plus branded hotel in Fife, Dunfermline, has been acquired by Singaporean company Buxani Hotels Pte Limited, the hospitality arm of Buxani Group, for an undisclosed amount.
The 19th-Century property, which is located two miles West of Dunfermline and 19 miles from the Edinburgh city centre, was first built as a country house and then converted into a hotel in the early 1980s.
The 70-bedroom hotel is set within 12-acres and has been extended over the years by the current owners to include a health club and spa, and the Elgin Suite for large functions and weddings.
While the four-star hotel has been purchased by the hospitality arm of the family office, Buxani Group, the hotel and leisure spa will be managed by Compass Hospitality UK Limited, which currently manages 20 hotels across the UK.
Gary Witham, hotel director of Christie and Co, said: “Whilst having the heart of a country house, this is a thoroughly modern and successful hotel which will continue to thrive and is a great credit to the owners who have developed it over the last 35 years of ownership.”
Kishore Buxani, CEO of Buxani Group, said: “We are extremely pleased to add the Best Western Plus Keavil House Hotel to our existing portfolio of hotels in the UK. This demonstrates our continued interest, commitment and confidence in the UK hospitality sector, and we hope to grow our UK footprint even further.
“We are also grateful to the existing owners for building a wonderful hospitality and leisure spa business over the last 35 years and we intend to carry on providing a fantastic experience to our guests and customers going forward.”
Harmil Singh, president and CEO of Compass Hospitality, added: “The Keavil House Hotel is an established property and a charming addition to the distinctive portfolio of our hotels in the UK. Our continued expansion in the UK reflects our strong favourable outlook for the UK hospitality industry.
“Compass Hospitality will continue to collaborate with our partners to identify strategic hotels for acquisition and management.”
