100 Bedroom Hotel And Leisure Complex In Bournemouth For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this 100-bedroom hotel, which was established in 1868 and which has been in our client's careful hands since 1980. The hotel is only now being placed on the market due to our client's wish to retire. The business trades all year round and generates a turnover in the region of £1,400,000 per annum with a gross profit of 55%. Belvedere Hotel offers 100 en-suite letting rooms, various function rooms and a restaurant serving high quality evening meals to guests. The hotel is fully licensed and boasts a bar serving real ales, fine wines and spirits, along with traditional pub food. All the letting rooms have en-suite facilities, flat screen TVs, broadband and tea and coffee making equipment; some rooms having sea views. The hotel has an enviable reputation and enjoys high levels of repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations. There is a website in place advertising the business and services provided, which we feel would benefit from online booking facilities. We feel the turnover could be further increased by embarking on a modest marketing campaign. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade, boasting many facilities including café area, restaurant, bar, function room with 2 x dance floors and extensive leisure facilities with pool, sauna, Jacuzzi and gymnasium. There is also approximately 1.12 acre of land, which has plans draws up to develop a 7-storey apartment block, subject to planning permission being granted. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
