115-bed resort hotel changes hands

An established, prominent hotel in Whitby, North Yorkshire, is now under new ownership.

Specialist business property advisor, Christie & Co, arranged the sale of the Royal Hotel Whitby on behalf of Coast & Country Hotels.

The 115-bedroom property features a grand reception hall, a large ballroom for functions and events, a substantial restaurant and dining rooms.

Mark Worley, director at Christie & Co, who handled the sale, said: “We are pleased to have completed the sale of The Royal hotel in Whitby, which will continue as a hotel for ongoing hospitality use under its new ownership.

“The hotel is one of the 33 assets put to market as part of the Coast & Country Portfolio. The hotels have received very strong interest to date, and a very limited number of these assets remain available.”
