Bluebelt Hospitality has acquired the leasehold of The Elephant Hotel, taking its portfolio of properties to four. The historic hotel had been marketed by leisure property specialist Fleurets on behalf of Hillbrooke Hotels. Opened in the late 1800’s, The Elephant Hotel has been through a major refurbishment and today features 22 themed guestrooms, a 70-cover restaurant, bar, three flexible banqueting spaces which can accommodate a total of 110 guests, and a spacious garden with 150 covers between the alfresco area and the cover marquee, which make the property ideal for wedding ceremonies and celebrations.
“We suspected The Elephant Hotel would generate a good deal of interest as the M4 corridor continues to be an area of high demand. The property was in good condition throughout and typically the type of business that would appeal to many of the newly expanding operator groups” – says Will Thomas of Fleurets. “I have no doubt that the Elephant will fit well within Bluebelt’s operations and will assist the group in establishing themselves as high end hospitality operators.”
