Four Saints Hotels has acquired The Merrion Hotel in Llandudno for £4.5m, marking the seafront property’s first change of ownership in 75 years.
The 62-bedroom Victorian hotel, which overlooks Llandudno Bay, was sold by brothers Gareth and Paul Bream, who are retiring.
The Bream family has owned the hotel for more than seven decades, and were responsible for expanding it from a 20-room guest house into a prominent seafront business.
Four Saints Hotels already operate three other hotels on Llandudno’s seafront: Brig Y Don, Lauriston Court and Headlands.
Gareth and Paul Bream said: “The Bream family are pleased to announce the sale of the Merrion Hotel to Mr and Mrs Rozek of the Four Saints Hotels. We congratulate them as the new owners and wish them every success in the future.”
Dr Shoukry Rozek, director of Four Saints Hotels, said: “We are delighted to welcome Merrion Hotel into the Four Saints Hotels family. I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Bream family for their decades of exceptional stewardship, and to all the legal, financial, and professional advisors who made this transaction possible.
“This acquisition strengthens our position in Llandudno’s hospitality market and creates exciting opportunities for our guests and team members. We look forward to building upon Merrion Hotel’s strong foundation while maintaining the high standards of service that define our group.”
Tom O’Malley, associate director at Christie and Co, who handled the sale, added: “The Merrion is one of the nicest hotels in Llandudno, and probably in the best location, making it a wonderful addition to the portfolio of Four Saints Hotels. I wish brothers Gareth and Paul all the very best with their retirement and thank them for trusting me with the sale of this hotel.”
