The Mercure-branded Norton Grange Hotel and Spa in Manchester has been brought to market for £9.25m. 

The four-star hotel, which sits on six acres of grounds eight miles from Manchester city centre, features 81 en-suite bedrooms, a restaurant, a bar, and event spaces. The site also includes a spa and a fitness centre with more than 1,200 external members.

The property is located near the M60 and M62 motorways, Castleton train station, and is 22 miles from Manchester Airport. 

The building recently underwent a full refurbishment, and the site has planning permission to add 22 bedrooms.

Partner at Knight Frank, Ryan Lynn, who is handling the sale, said: “Norton Grange presents an excellent opportunity to acquire an established branded hotel in a prime North West location, blending rural tranquillity with convenient city access to attract a diverse range of guests for corporate and leisure stays. 

“The asset’s strong spa offering and clear scope for expansion provide a compelling platform for future value creation. We look forward to working with the vendor to secure a buyer that can continue building upon the property’s impressive trading performance.”

Recent hotel sales signal market interest

In Context

The recent listing of the Norton Grange Hotel and Spa for £9.25m ties into a broader trend within the North West hotel market. For instance, the Ainscow Hotel in Manchester was marketed for £8.5m in March 2022, showcasing similar buyer interest in established properties within the region.

In September 2020, the sale of three Mercure-branded hotels highlighted the ongoing appeal of brand-affiliated establishments. The Norton Grange’s strong spa offering and planned expansion echo previous insights on how branded properties are perceived as adaptable investments with significant potential for value creation.
