The Fattal Hotel Group, the owner of the Jurys Inn and Leonardo hotel brands, has announced that it has signed a lease agreement to open a new property in Bristol.
The 200-bedroom hotel will be part of the Glassfields development close to Bristol’s business district. It will mark the Jurys Inn and Leonardo group’s debut in Bristol.
The hotel will be managed by Jurys Inn and Leonardo Hotels UK and Ireland, but branding of the hotel has not yet been confirmed. The site will include a restaurant and bar and meeting facilities and is expected to be complete in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Fattal Hotel Group has made a number of UK acquisitions in recent months. These include Southampton’s Grand Harbour Hotel, and the Midland Hotel on Manchester’s Adair Street. The company is also investing £32 million in the redevelopment of the existing Jurys Inn Edinburgh, along with its adjacent site, which will convert a listed building into a new 131-room Nyx Hotel.
The group also announced it has acquired the leases for four Grange Hotels properties in central London. All four will be rebranded under the Jurys Inn and Leonardo and Nyx portfolios.
Jason Carruthers, managing director of Jurys Inn and Leonardo Hotels UK & Ireland, said: “This is a truly exciting time as we expand our offering in the UK with this key site in a major city like Bristol.
“2018 was another year of substantial growth for Jurys Inn and Leonardo Hotels UK & Ireland, and we have ambitious plans to continue this in 2019 across the group as we offer an exceptional experience, in fantastic city centre locations across the UK.
“We continue to look to grow and strengthen the Leonardo brand and hotel network and will pursue further appropriate and commercially attractive new potential development and acquisition opportunities as they arise.”
