ABOUT US

Independent. Experienced. Exceptional.

Legacy Hotels & Resorts Limited was incorporated in Spring 2005 by its founding shareholders and principal directors, who continue to lead the business today with the same commitment, agility, and entrepreneurial focus that defined its early years.
The company began trading in September 2005 with the acquisition of three former Corus Hotels for £18.5 million, complemented by two additional management agreements for hotels previously operated by Macdonald Hotels.
Since then, Legacy has grown into one of the UK’s leading third-party hotel management companies—offering scale, flexibility, and proven results. We’ve operated and supported over 100 hotels and leisure assets across the UK, Jersey, Southern Spain, North Macedonia, and Sweden, representing more than 6,500 guest rooms.
We are trusted by investors, developers, and advisors alike for our track record as both a capable operator and a creative developer of internationally branded and independently positioned hotel assets.
