We discuss why 2026 may be seen as a pivotal year for boutique hotels, unpack the rise of global nomadism and how this is shaping demand and trends across hospitality, and how a strong team and clear, consistent messaging and offerings are key to securing investment.

The Palace Hotel and Casino in Douglas, Isle of Man, recently became a member of the Best Western group.

 

The newly named Best Western Palace Hotel and Casino is the largest 4-star property on the Isle of Man, is the only branded hotel on the island, and the first “casino hotel” for the group. It will continue to remain independently owned by the Sefton Group and managed by the Sefton Group Hotels general manager, Paul Forrest.

“We are proud, not only to be part of such a well-known brand, but also to be their first member on the Isle of Man for 10 years,” said Paul. “As a business we wish to grow and improve, and being a Best Western Hotel with personality, will definitely enable us to do this.”

The hotel offers “a combination of stylish accommodation, contemporary entertainment and conference facilities that cater for up to 300 people,” and as the biggest leisure complex on the island, features a health club, casino, bingo hall, on-site cinema, two restaurants, a lounge bar and lively sports bar. The health club includes a fully equipped fitness centre, indoor pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi.
