Kew Green Hotels
Kew Green Hotels was established in September 2001 by Jeremy Richardson and Paul Johnson, with financial and business planning support from Moorfield Group and Bank of Scotland, to capitalise on the growth opportunities in the limited service hotel market. The Group now owns, manages or operates 21 hotels which operate under established brands such as the Holiday Inn Express, Crowne Plaza, Courtyard by Marriott and Days Hotels. Together these hotels have 2,340 rooms with sales revenue in excess of £50m per annum.
KGH looks to own and operate hotels that are in city centre, “premium” edge of town, or key transport hub (i.e. airport) locations. They focus on 100 - 150 bedroom properties which are highly visible from major traffic routes with strong complimentary offers close by, such as health clubs and other leisure facilities.
The hotels and their facilities cater for the demands of the business and leisure traveller as well as the conference and reception markets. Bedrooms are of a high quality with satellite television and wi-fi. All the hotels have a bar and restaurant designed in a contemporary style.
The Hotels:
The Group have developed 8 hotels to date which are long leasehold interests. The Group also acquired the freeholds of 11 Courtyard by Marriott hotels from Whitbread which were subsequently re-branded in May 2007 as Holiday Inn hotels. In October 2008, Kew Green acquired the freehold of the Marriot Hotel at John Lennon Airport, Liverpool, which it subsequently rebranded as a Crowne Plaza.
