Hotel investment and hospitality group
Amaris Hospitality has announced that
it has committed a further £24 million to
extend three landmark properties within
its portfolio, bringing the group’s total
capital investment to £124 million, as it
continues its programme to transform,
rebrand and reposition 23 hotels across
its 74 strong portfolio.
The four star Jurys Inn hotel in Oxford
is to receive £5.7 million of investment,
giving an additional 72 rooms and
additional meeting space by October.
Jurys Inn Custom House, Dublin, which is
due to be rebranded as a Hilton Garden
Inn, will gain an additional 85 bedrooms
following a £10 million investment, while
Jurys Inn Belfast is to receive an
£8 million capital investment to support
an addition of 80 rooms, and the
renovation of all existing rooms.
In total, the programme will add a further
237 rooms to the Group, which already
has over 13,500 rooms in its portfolio.
Amaris is “actively considering a
number of other opportunities” to
extend additional properties in key
strategic locations.

comments: “The UK hospitality sector is
experiencing positive momentum, with the
Amaris Hospitality Group making excellent
progress on its previously announced
