A luxury riverside hotel in Dorset, which also features a spa and a 2 AA-Rosette restaurant, has been put up for sale. The Captain’s Club Hotel & Spa has 17 high-end bedrooms, including 12 two- and three-bedroom suites.
The award-winning hotel and spa is located on the banks of the River Stour in Christchurch and offers uninterrupted river views. The four-star hotel generates strong repeat business from leisure, corporate and event guests, including both domestic and international travellers.
The Captain’s Club’s full-service spa includes a hydrotherapy pool, jacuzzi, sauna, treatment rooms, sun terrace and wellness packages for guests. The hotel also features an alfresco dining terrace and the Quay Bar.
There are extensive function spaces within the hotel, including a dedicated event space with room for up to 100 guests, making the site a popular venue for weddings, corporate functions and private events.
The business has operated successfully for many years, but also provides the opportunity for new owners to add further value, with the hotel having planning permission for 29 additional hotel bedrooms, as well as seven additional luxury suites.
The sale process for the Captain’s Club Hotel & Spa is being managed by Christie & Co Regional Director Ed Bellfield, with offers being invited for the freehold interest on the property.
Ed Bellfield commented: "This is a unique opportunity to acquire a well-known, highly profitable trading hotel and spa business in the picturesque waterside setting of Christchurch, Dorset, with the potential to increase future income via implementing the current planning permission for an additional 29 bedrooms."
