Vine Hotels acquires The Charlecote Pheasant Hotel
Vine Hotels has acquired the 70-bedroom Charlecote Pheasant Hotel in Warwickshire out of administration, with the property reopening today (4 August).
The Stratford hotel was forced to shut in May 2020 when its previous owner was placed into administration. Vine Hotels will now reinstate the jobs of 12 staff members who were made redundant with the closure, including general manager John McGhee and other key management positions.
In addition, Vine hotels said it will create three new roles immediately at the Hotel and further new roles in the coming months.
Vine Hotels adds the Charlecote Pheasant to its growing portfolio of hotels and venues, which also includes five properties in Sheffield, the Best Western Cresta Court hotel in Altrincham and the Mercure Dolphin Southampton Centre hotel.
Vine Hotels chief executive Garin Davies said:” I am delighted that we have added the Charlecote Pheasant Hotel to the Vine Hotels family.
“It was clearly a popular local business and occupies a superb location for visitors to Stratford-upon-Avon and the Warwickshire countryside. We see its excellent potential and have developed a comprehensive marketing and customer service strategy to secure long-term commercial success for the Hotel.”
He added: “The last few months have also presented a difficult time for many of the Hotel’s dedicated staff members, so the fact that we can welcome so many of them back is something that I am particularly pleased about. We will be supporting them now in adding the necessary Covid-19 safety measures and preparing the Hotel, to allow us to welcome guests once again from August 4, 2020.”
