Jupiter Hotels is a new company that was created as a joint venture between Patron Capital, the pan European institutional investor focused on property backed investments, and West Register, part of the Royal Bank of Scotland plc. The addition of the Talbot Hotel to Jupiter’s collection means they now own and operate 32 hotels across the UK.
The news of the latest acquisition comes less than three weeks after the hotel group announced they had won management contracts for five hotels in East Anglia previously operated by Barinbrook Limited, taking them out of administration.
The Talbot
The Talbot Inn is a coaching inn built in the 15th century which has retained many of its historic features, including original oak beams and open fires. The four star hotel has 43 bedrooms, each of which features free WiFi and flat screen plasma TVs with freeview channels.
The hotel’s restaurant serves modern British cuisine in a historical setting and has a number of rooms that can be hired for private dining. Alongside the a la carte menu there is a traditional roast on Sundays.
The hotel can cater for meetings and weddings for up to 120 guests, which Jupiter Hotels will be taking over the management of.
Chief executive of Jupiter Hotels Shane Harris said: “We are delighted to announce the addition of The Talbot hotel to our growing portfolio. This is the sixth hotel we have signed in three weeks increasing our portfolio to 32 owned and managed hotels.
“The signing of this hotel is proof of the confidence our partners have in our ability to successfully manage hotels. The continued growth of our portfolio in the midscale hotel sector is reflective of our commitment and expertise in managing successful mid-market hotels in the UK. We will continue to work with hotels across the UK to develop the sector, champion the mid-market segment and strengthen and develop our portfolio.”
The Talbot is located on Ripley High Street half an hour from central London and 20 minutes away from Heathrow and Gatwick airports.
