About Compass Hotels

Compass Hotels has traded successfully in the high-end three star hotel market for over 21 years

Compass Hotels Ltd is a privately owned hotel company, specialising in 3 star hotel operations. Incorporated in March 1983 to acquire the leases of two London properties, the Great Eastern Hotel, Liverpool Street and the Great Northern Hotel, Kings Cross, Compass Hotels Ltd has traded successfully in the high-end three star hotel market for over 21 years.

Since 1983, the Company has owned and operated or managed up to 12 hotels, including the creation of and management / operation of Andrew Weir Hotels Ltd (now Hanover International), at the time a group of six hotels, between 1986 and 1993. During the recession of the early 1990s the Company managed, on behalf of several institutions, a number of hotels in receivership.

With the expiry of the two leasehold properties, the Company moved offices to Hertfordshire, retaining the freehold of two hotels, The Abbey Hotel in Bath and Manor House Hotel in Alsager, Cheshire. The acquisition was made in July 2003 of Stansted Manor Hotel, just 3 miles from Stansted Airport and it is the Company's intention to continue to expand either through acquisition, management contract or leasehold of properties in locations with both commercial and leisure business.

The Company believes that, despite the ever increasing number of budget style hotel operations, there will always be a place for three star hotels offering service and value for money. To this end, the Company chooses to market its hotels through the Best Western Hotels brand which we believe represents the individual style and appeal of each of the hotels and underpins our goals and values.
