Two new hotels join Vine Hotels Portfolio · PA Life

A successful corporate stay or event starts with the right hotel. Location, transport links, meeting facilities, value and flexibility all matter—but so does the confidence that the venue will deliver consistently excellent service from arrival to departure. For PAs, EAs and corporate bookers, the right hotel is about more than simply finding a place to sleep for the night. Vine Hotels Portfolio welcomes two new members Vine Hotels, a leading hotel owner, management, advisory and development company, has recently expanded its portfolio with the addition of two distinctive properties: Hotel Collingwood in Bournemouth and Best Western The Gables hotel near Bristol. Both properties are an important addition for Vine Hotels as a growing hospitality group with a portfolio that now spans from South Yorkshire to the South Coast and the West Country. Its hotels are now strategically situated across some of England's most important business and leisure destinations, meaning PAs can access a diverse collection of venues across the country. And all come with the peace of mind associated with having trusted hotel management experts at the helm. The recent expansion reflects Vine Hotels' ambitious growth strategy, but it also demonstrates the company's ability to manage a broad range of hospitality businesses, including both branded and independent hotels, as well as specialist event venues. Hotel Collingwood adds a combination of business, leisure and events facilities to the portfolio Located just a five-minute walk from Bournemouth Pier and the seafront, the hotel is also only 400 yards from the Bournemouth International Centre (BIC), making it particularly attractive for conference delegates and business groups. The 53-bedroom hotel offers accommodation including doubles, twins and larger rooms, suitable for individual business travellers, colleagues attending conferences and group bookings. Meeting facilities accommodate up to 100 delegates, while the dedicated Botanical Suite provides a versatile space for conferences, private dinners, presentations and networking events, complete with its own private bar. For PAs organising executive travel, the extra amenities are also a welcome addition. The hotel's Eden Spa includes an indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and treatment rooms, balancing business commitments with wellbeing. Dining options are flexible, with three separate food and beverage outlets; The Bubble Lounge cocktail bar and the Bluebird Lounge for casual dining and afternoon tea, or The Gold Room restaurant with its à la carte menu. Tailored menus can be designed for larger groups. Best Western The Gables hotel brings a different proposition to the Vine Hotels family Situated close to both Bristol, the 46-bedroom hotel is ideally situated for businesses in the Southwest. Excellent road connections and easy access to Bristol make it particularly well suited to regional meetings and corporate events. There are three flexible meeting rooms, including the versatile Bristol Suite holds up to 200 guests. The hotel's idyllic location also sits right on the edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; a stunning backdrop and easy access for team building or excursions. Guests can also enjoy free on-site parking, while the on-site Marco's New York Italian restaurant delivers crowd-pleasing dining for corporate entertaining. The acquisition of The Gables was completed as a joint venture between Castlewood Hotels and Vine Hotels, with both organisations identifying opportunities for future growth. Importantly, these latest properties complement Vine Hotels' existing venues, which includes non-residential, event focused properties such as Whirlow Brook Hall and The Old Rectory in Sheffield, demonstrating the company's versatility and individual approach to hotel and venue management.
