One of Portsmouth’s trophy hotels, The Clarence, has been placed on the market by Christie + Co.
The Clarence is a relaxing retreat for business and leisure travellers alike, with stylish and elegantly decorated en suite rooms offering all the amenities expected from a luxury venue. Some rooms feature ‘Aqua TV’ allowing guests the unique experience of watching TV in the bath. Other unique features in the rooms include a sunken bath, a two person hydro spa bath and under floor heading.
Catering to adults only, the Edwardian residence also offers a small, intimate restaurant with 12-16 covers, a bar area with comfy sofas and an outside patio area.
The multi award-winning boutique hotel is strategically located just a few hundred yards from the seafront in Southsea, Portsmouth. The world famous attractions of the Historic Dockyard, Gunwharf Quays and Spinnaker Tower lie nearby.
Tim Widdows of Christie + Co’s Winchester office comments: “We consider there is significant scope for an experienced owner/operator to invest in this opportunity and benefit from the excellent reputation the existing owners have managed to achieve. An area of potential expansion and improved turnover is the restaurant, which is currently not open for evening trade.
“The hotel is currently ranked number one on Tripadvisor from 39 hotels in Portsmouth with a 97 per cent approval rating. It has won numerous accolades including the 2014 Traveller’s Choice award, and has been voted in the top 10 UK small hotels.”
Strong interest is expected in The Clarence, which has a freehold asking price of £895,000.
