Fattal Group acquires The Grand Brighton hotel in the UK from the Weston family
Israel’s largest hotel organisation and owner of Leonardo Hotels, Fattal Group, has acquired The Grand Brighton, a 201-room historic hotel situated on England’s south coast, from the billionaire Weston family, for a sum reported to be in the region of £55 million to £60 million (£274,000 to £299,000 per room). The Weston family, who control Fortnum and Mason and Associated British Foods, transacted the property via the family’s privately-held holding company, Wittington Investments. The family had acquired the hotel from DeVere in 2014 for £50 million and refurbished the property in 2019, including restoring the hotel’s Victorian facade. The hotel includes conference and banquet facilities totalling 1,200 sqm across 13 rooms.
