Caledonian Leisure, which operates under the Caledonian Travel and UKBreakaways brands has completed the purchase of the New Southlands Hotel in Scarborough, in partnership with investors.
The 55-bedroom hotel, to be renamed The Caledonian New Southlands Hotel, is the fourth hotel to join The Caledonian Hotel Collection following the acquisition of the Caledonian Claymore Hotel in Arrochar last year and, more recently, the Caledonian Tower in Blackpool (formerly known as the Liberty’s) and the Caledonian Torbay in Torquay.
Graham Rogers, Managing Director at Caledonian Leisure, commented: “The Caledonian New Southlands Hotel in Scarborough is the perfect addition to The Caledonian Hotel Collection as we continue to expand our portfolio of hotels in key UK destinations.
“The hotel is renowned for providing excellent accommodation and a warm Yorkshire hospitality delivered by a friendly team who share our customer first ethos. Scarborough remains one of the UK’s top holiday destinations and one of our best-selling resorts, with customer numbers increasing year on year across our brands. We look forward to offering a variety of packages to the Caledonian New Southlands Hotel through both our own brand channels, digital platforms and established network of travel agents.”
The hotel’s existing General Manager Ruth Janicki and her team will join Caledonian Leisure. Ruth added: “We are delighted to be joining the Caledonian family and can’t wait to start to make memories for both new and repeat customers. Sharing the values of ‘customer first’ with the whole team at Caledonian will ensure we keep delivering exceptional stays in this stunning resort.”
