JW Lees buys Wales site from Whitbread

JW Lees has bought The Craigside Hotel in Little Orme in Llandudno from Whitbread.

The purchase comes as the Premier Inn operator continues to dispose of many of its sites with rooms.

With The Craighside Hotel joining the JW Lees estate, the business will increase its accommodation offer to 366 bedrooms under company management.

"We are delighted to be acquiring The Craigside Inn from Whitbread plc," says William Lees-Jones, managing director of JW Lees. 

"We have a number of successful sites in the Llandudno area, including The Groes Inn Conwy, Wales’s oldest pub, and The Links Hotel and Station Hotel Llandudno, and we look forward to welcoming the team and guests at The Craigside to being part of the JW Lees family business. 

"We will continue to run the hotel for the foreseeable future and have exciting plans to refurbish and reposition it early in the New Year."
