Hotel Victoria reopens following multi-million-pound refurb

Hotel Victoria in North Yorkshire has officially reopened following a six-month, multi-million-pound refurbishment, which has included the redesign of the hotel and its dining and entertainment spaces.  

Located at the top of Robin Hood’s Bay on the Heritage Coast of the North York Moors, the hotel was acquired in November 2023 by businessman Andrew Long to expand the Loxley Collection hotel portfolio. 

All members of staff were retained as part of the acquisition, many of whom are employed locally.

The Loxley Collection also includes The White Hart and The Judge’s Lodgings in Lincoln and Polurrian on the Lizard in Cornwall. 

Hotel Victoria, which now boasts 23 bedrooms, offers guests coastal views, family and dog-friendly options, as well as a newly-created DDA compliant accessible suite. 

The expansion of the hotel is set to continue, with a further seven refurbished bedrooms which will be available to guests by the end of 2024.

Long said: “Since acquiring the Hotel Victoria, we have undertaken a sensitive refurbishment programme, and we are delighted with how our vision of showcasing the hotel’s elegance and style whilst retaining its iconic historic charm, has come to life.

“We are confident that the renovation of the hotel will be very well received by guests, visitors and the residents of Robin Hood’s Bay.” 

He added: “We are really looking forward to welcoming our guests, past and new, to experience the refurbished bedrooms, dining and entertainment spaces first-hand.”
