Four hotels: Avon Gorge in Bristol; Magdalen Chapter in Exeter; Montpellier Chapter in Cheltenham and the Hotel Seattle in Brighton have just changed ownership and will be rebranded as Malmaison or Hotel du Vin during 2016.
New owners, Fraser Hospitality UK, plan to grow both Malmaison and Hotel du Vin properties to a target of 50 hotels.
There are currently 29 hotels in the group: Hotel du Vin with 16 hotels and Malmaison with 13 units. Two further Hotel du Vin properties are under construction and due to open in Stratford-upon-Avon and Aberdeen.
