Specialist business property adviser Christie & Co has been instructed to market The Cairn Hotel, a landmark hospitality asset in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
Built during Harrogate’s Victorian expansion as a leading spa destination, the property has operated as a hotel for well over a century. Occupying a prominent position on Ripon Road in the town centre, the hotel sits within walking distance of key local attractions, benefiting from a year-round mix of leisure, corporate, and conference guests.
The hotel features 135 en suite bedrooms alongside five dedicated function suites with capacity for up to 350 guests, holding an established reputation as a weddings, events, and conference venue. Its main dining room accommodates 350 diners while preserving original Victorian architectural features, supported by the Promenade Bar for drinks and light meals.
Set on a four-acre site with parking for over 100 vehicles, the grounds include a separate 10-bedroom Victorian house adjacent to the hotel, as well as a detached former garage and workshop with significant potential for redevelopment.
Christie & Co is marketing the property on behalf of James Dewar and Alistair McAlinden of Interpath, Joint Administrators of Strathmore Hotels Limited.
“Hotels of this size very rarely become available in the much sought-after spa town of Harrogate,” said David Lee, Regional Director – Hotels at Christie & Co. “The hotel trades at a good level presently and has huge scope to develop, including an extensive spa and leisure offering.”
The Cairn Hotel is offered on a long leasehold with approximately 70 years remaining on the lease, with offers invited in excess of £6,000,000. Further details are available online at christie.com.
