Three new hotels join as brand celebrates 30 years

This year the largest group of independently owned hotels is celebrating its 30th birthday - and what better way to celebrate than with the recruitment of three hotels into the Best Western portfolio.

With these three new additions, the Best Western Cutlers Hotel, Best Western Royal Kings Arms Hotel and Best Western Leicester North Hotel, the total number of properties joining the brand this year is six - raising the total number of hotels within the portfolio to 285!

Keith Pope, Director of Membership, Best Western said: “This year we have seen an increase in the quality and standards set by the brand, which means that hotels have to work harder than ever to ensure they meet the mark. As such, we are pleased to be welcoming these three new properties into the group – all of which have distinctive qualities and certainly hit the quality mark.”

The new additions to the group are as follows;
