Village Hotel Club

Village Hotels operates 33 hotels in the United Kingdom. The company was founded in 1995, and is now owned by Denver-based private equity firm KSL Capital Partners.

History

The company dates back to 1976 when bedrooms were added to Hyde Squash Club, near Manchester, by John Burrows to create Village Hotel and Leisure Club. Other hotels were added in Prestwich and Cheadle before the business was sold to Boddingtons brewery, which was bought in 1996 by its rival Greenall's.

In March 2014, Village Urban Resorts was acquired from De Vere Group by KSL Capital Partners for £435 million as part of the group disposal with sale proceedings being used to payback debts of over £1.75 billion.^[1]

Following the reopening of all Hotels after the Coronavirus Pandemic in May 2021, the decision was made that all Village Spas would remain permanently closed. Most Spas have been removed and the space now being accommodated by additions to the Leisure Club

In Late 2021 the final stages were completed for the removal of the American themed Italian Restaurant - Buca Di Beppo
