The Expanse Hotel in Bridlington is set to close with owners blaming “difficult trading conditions”.
The owners confirmed their decision in a post on Facebook stating “It is with great sadness that we have to announce the closure of the Expanse Hotel & Marine Bar.”
The company stated that it will continue to operate its apartments and residential properties.
The hotel has remained in the same family since it was built in 1937 by the current owners’ grandfather Edmond Cooper Briggs.
The closure of the hotel will also affect the Marine Bar which had been featured in the CAMRA Good Beer guide.
The Facebook post read: “We would like to express our gratitude to each and every one of you who have supported us over the years. Our wonderful guests and loyal customers who have made many happy memories and contributed to our long history.
“Our loyal staff who have made the Expanse a happy place. You will all be missed by so many people, us especially, thank you for your hard work and commitment we have always appreciated everything you do. Our local suppliers and tradespeople who have looked after us all so well, thank you and thank you Bridlington.”
