Tue, 30 Aug 2011 | BUSINESS SALE
One of the most iconic hotels in Scarborough has been put onto the market following its plunge into administration.
The 118-bedroom Royal Hotel, which is owned by the family-run firm English Rose Hotels Scarborough Ltd, has been located on St Nicholas Street since its opening almost 200 years ago.
The hotel, which currently employs 77 staff members full-time, once welcomed Winston Churchill as a guest, and is well known as being one of the area's most historic hotels. It will continue to trade as normal whilst a buyer is found.
English Rose Hotels Scarborough Ltd was forced to call in the administrators due to a large tax bill, and has also put another of its Scarborough hotels, the Clifton Hotel, up for sale. The Clifton will also continue to trade as normal until a new owner is found.
David Whitehouse, partner at administrators MCR, told the Yorkshire Post, “Both the Clifton and the Royal have strong reputations and high levels of occupancy. There is significant interest in these hotels and we would expect to complete a sale of the hotels as a going concern over the coming weeks.”
According to the Yorkshire Post, the English Rose Hotels Scarborough Ltd's sister company, English Rose Hotels Yorkshire Ltd, has not been affected by the administration.
The company is an independent environmental consultancy that addresses groundwater and surface water management for clients within the UK.
Maintaining a fully stocked warehouse, the company provides a wide range of oak stair parts, mouldings, joinery parts, doors and flooring.Products can be designed and manufactured in-house to bespoke client requirements.
The company is a reputable provider of temporary and permanent office staff, serving West London and the surrounding regions, with placements ranging from entry roles to managing directors.
