A well-known Leeds hotel has recently been sold.
The Ramada Hotel Leeds North, situated in Seacroft, was sold by property consultancy firm Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels. The 103-bedroom hotel was sold on behalf of Kirstie Provan and Mark Fry of BegbiesTraynor, the joint administrators of Millgreen View Securities Limited.

Joint administrator, Kirstie Provan said, “I am delighted that we have achieved a sale of the hotel as a going concern which will save 42 local jobs in the Seacroft area.”
Commenting on their future plans, Alex Langsam, managing director of Britannia Hotels, added, “We are delighted to add this hotel to our portfolio. We have changed the name of the hotel to Britannia Leeds Hotel and will be carrying out a programme of refurbishment and adding extra bedrooms. We look forward to welcoming guests and feel sure they will appreciate the improvements taking place.”
