The well-known East Midlands venue has entered administration with FRP Advisory appointed, but all bookings will be honoured and approximately 120 staff have been retained as administrators seek a buyer
The Nottingham Belfry Hotel and Spa, a renowned establishment in the East Midlands, has formally entered administration. Anthony Simmons and Ian Corfield from FRP Advisory have been named as joint administrators to manage the proceedings.
- Despite the financial filing, all hotel staff have been kept on for now. The establishment employed roughly 120 individuals at the close of 2024, with their positions remaining a key concern for the administrators.
- The administrators have assured that all existing guest reservations will be fulfilled. This offers peace of mind to those with forthcoming visits or functions booked at the hotel and spa.
- The operation continues trading whilst the administration proceedings progress. This enables the establishment to uphold its service standards and local standing during the hunt for fresh ownership.
- FRP Advisory is actively pursuing a purchaser to acquire the premium establishment. The objective is to achieve a favourable result that maintains the operation as a viable enterprise and safeguards long-term jobs, reports Birmingham Live.
- The disposal process is being handled by Christie and Co, a specialist commercial property company. Matt Hill, a senior business agent at the company, is managing enquiries from prospective parties.
- A cut-off date for would-be purchasers to lodge their offers was apparently established for January 26, 2026. This suggests the process is advancing rapidly to guarantee the hotel’s future security.
- The establishment is characterised by administrators as boasting an outstanding reputation and a robust foothold in the regional market. It is widely respected for its amenities, which feature both substantial accommodation and a comprehensive spa facility.
- The piece emphasises rave customer feedback, with numerous guests bestowing five-star accolades on the hotel via Google. Patrons have commended the standard of the massages, the warmth of the team, and the cosiness of the bedrooms.
- The hotel’s descent into administration comes alongside various other prominent collapses throughout the UK retail and leisure industries. This underscores the continuing financial strain confronting hospitality enterprises in today’s economic landscape.
