Stradey Park Hotel

Hotel investment property Wales

The 4-star Stradey Park Hotel & Spa has been operating continuously for over 20 years and enjoys an excellent reputation for high standards of accommodation and cuisine.

The hotel reception, main dining room and function rooms are located within the original manor house, which dates to 1912 and was originally owned by local industrialist Alexander Raby who built the Carmarthenshire Dock in 1799 on the River Lliedi at Llanelli as a shipping point for his coal and iron.

The hotel affords stunning views over Carmarthen Bay and the Gower Peninsula, making it an ideal venue for wedding parties, whilst the unique and award-winning Parc Spa is a major attraction, with many guests coming to the hotel specifically to enjoy the spa packages.

WHY INVEST IN HOTELS?

Hotel room investments are set to become the top performing asset class in the coming years.

Part commercial property investment, part residential property investment, this lucrative sector offers the best of both worlds.

The UK hotel sector performed well in 2018 as growing demand, fuelled by the relatively weak pound, continued to attract international tourists and the increase in the number of Britons that take staycations, mean that hotel occupancy in the UK is going from strength to strength.

The outlook moving forward is equally as bright. RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) and ADR
(Average Daily Rate) is expected to grow during 2019 and despite the Brexit uncertainty, the UK already beat their 2020 tourism target of 40 million annual inbound visits, with 40.9 million
inbound visits in 2018. This demonstrates that the hotel sector is proving to be an excellent
option to Brexit-proof any investment portfolio.

Investing in an established hotel with a proven track record makes perfect sense, especially as
a fully-managed investment – you invest in a room (or rooms) then sit back and collect the income. Your room becomes part of the hotel stock, with the added benefit of being serviced and managed as part of the hotel.

UK tourist spending has exceeded £25.7 billion, representing a 13% increase year on year and
the strongest growth for five years. With more and more people opting for ‘staycation’ holidays the
best is yet to come.
