QHotels has added six former De Vere Hotels to its portfolio.

The six hotels, located across the UK include the luxury 5-star Cameron House in Loch Lomond and the Elizabethan-style Dunston Hall in picturesque Norfolk. They will be managed alongside the existing QHotels portfolio of 21 hotels led by Managing Director Michael Purtill and Finance Director Ian Goulding.

Michael Purtill commented: “This is a really positive move that will help drive long-term, sustained growth for the QHotels brand. The 6 hotels are an excellent fit as they are renowned for their first-rate facilities, catering and service. This aligns with our guest-first ethos and enables us to effectively expand our UK reach."

With investment earmarked for each of the six hotels over the coming months, the hotels will be integrated into the QHotels portfolio.

Michael concluded: “Our first priority is business as usual for the teams and guests, ensuring we fulfil our commitments for existing bookings."
