In a twist of serendipity for North Wales, the well-known chain in the field of hospitality and brewery, JW Lees, struck gold with its latest acquisition. This is after the chain recently snapped up Craigside Hotel, which houses the popular Premier Inn and Brewers Fayre restaurant, sitting on the picturesque Little Orme at Llandudno. This deal adds to the already impressive portfolio that is the said family company.

JW Lees is steeped in the region, and this exciting purchase was announced with great enthusiasm by the company. Christie & Co is a firm renowned for negotiating many high-profile deals and handled the purchase for them. William Lees-Jones, Managing Director of JW Lees, said, “We are delighted to be acquiring The Craigside Inn from Whitbread plc. It will take our inns and hotels business up to 366 bedrooms under company management.”

Craigside Hotel is not only a property but one of the cardinal tourist hotspots situated in Llandudno, an extremely famous and culturally lively seaside town. It contains a famous Premier Inn with Brewers Fayre, making it a landmark in the city and providing comfortable sleep along with a family dining experience.

JW Lees has history in North Wales for successful ventures. It already owns several highly-regarded houses in the Conwy area, such as The Links Hotel and The Groes Inn in the Conwy Valley. The Groes Inn is particularly renowned since it is considered the oldest pub in Wales and adds just a pinch of historical value to JW Lees’ collection.

JW Lees announced their intention to make some exciting changes to Craigside Hotel. “The company plan refurbishment and repositioning of the hotel in the market, which means that guests will be able to enjoy an updated and refreshed offering”. Refurbishment is scheduled to start early next year, and it surely promises a new sparkle for this beloved property.

William Lees-Jones gave a bit more on the future for Craigside Hotel: “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.” This commitment to improvement underlines that JW Lees is not about standing still but about enhancing the guest experience.

JW Lees is a family company steeped in tradition. It was formed back in 1828 when John Lees, a retired cotton manufacturer, built a small brewery. Since this time, the company has grown into one of the most important hospitality companies in the north of England. With its growth, JW Lees has managed to preserve the family atmosphere in the company and the quality expected from an enterprise of this kind-as can be seen in the newly acquired establishment.

This investment in The Craigside Hotel represents much more than a business transaction; it is a commitment of JW Lees to add value to the hospitality environment of North Wales. In folding The Craigside into its portfolio, JW Lees expands its reach while continuing to contribute to the local economy and tourist industry.

The acquisition, in particular, would become quite exciting for the community and visitors alike. Craigside Hotel is a well-known name in Llandudno and is bound to progress even further under the stewardship of JW Lees. Plans by the company to refurbish the property show a bright future ahead with improvements on its current state to enrich the guest experience.

Llandudno is favored for its very beautiful views facing the coast and historical attractions by both locals and international tourists. This town is about to benefit from the attention that comes with such a reputable chain, now that JW Lees has invested in The Craigside Hotel.

This probably is very exciting news for the people who have stayed at The Craigside Hotel. It would create curiosity regarding the changes that might come and make a hotel stay fresh, with a Brewers Fayre restaurant to look forward to.

For JW Lees, this purchase of The Craigside Hotel is an exciting step into the future, while for Llandudno, it is very welcome news. This is a prime example of tradition combined with innovation, taking together a well-respected family firm and one of the town’s most popular landmarks. It should be a very exciting new chapter in the life of JW Lees, one which the company and community alike are looking forward to for its improvements and opportunities to come.

With the acquisition, a new beginning is also in store for the company, as this hotel’s refurbishing is on the cards and it means that JW Lees is all set to create long-lasting memories in the Llandudno hospitality scene. Indeed, for tourists and residents, this is quite a high time when one waits with bated breath amidst the new changes brought about by the new ownership.
