Big brewery groups down to the craft brewery outfits and pub chains are falling over themselves to open small hotels at the moment. Wetherspoons are planning two openings this summer. Marston’s  Brewery have another on the drawing board. Brewdog, a craft brewery in Aberdeen is looking to open its version of a hotel to be called ‘The Kennel’.

The first new Wetherspoon development will be a pub with a 12-bedroom hotel attached - to be named The Greenwood Hotel (pictured). It is located in Northolt in north-west London. The Greenwood Hotel is scheduled to open in early July 2016.

Their second new hotel will be in Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire.  Wetherspoons are converting the Grade II-listed Old Post Office and George Hall alongside  into a pub with a 20 bedroom hotel attached. The new name for the pub and hotel will be Sandford House which was the name for the Old Post Office when it was a private residence.

Sandford House is expected to open late July or early August 2016.

The two new additions will take the Wetherspoon portfolio to 40 hotels.

Further north brewing company Marston’s Brewery has applied to Derby City Council for permission to build a new two-storey 39-bedroom Marston’s Inn next to the Blue Jay pub in Alvaston. If planning permission is granted, building work would start later this year.

Even further north in Aberdeen, the craft beer brewery Brewdog is set to open a hotel after raising £19million in a crowdsourcing funding venture.

Brewdog is planning a beer themed hotel dubbed The Kennel. The Kennel will be located in Aberdeen, close to their original brewery in Ellon. The new hotel could feature some unusual ideas such as draught beer on tap, mattresses made from malt, a jacuzzi filled with pale ale and a homebrew kit by the bed – with no two rooms the same.

No opening dates have been published but construction of the hotel could be starting shortly.
