Compass Hospitality acquires Best Western Plus Keavil House Hotel amid ‘continued’ expansion

Compass Hospitality has secured management of the Best Western Plus Keavil House Hotel in Dunfermline, Fife, amid continued expansion of its UK portfolio.

Keavil House Hotel marks Compass Hospitality’s fourth acquisition in partnership with the Buxani Group, following collaborations for GoGlasgow Urban Hotel, the Craigmonie Hotel in Inverness and the Arosfa Hotel in London.

The latest addition, a mid nineteenth-century country house that resides in a 12-acre estate, is located close to a naval shipyard at Rosyth and features 70 bedrooms, a club, spa and the Elgin Suite for large functions and weddings.

The property has been operating as a hotel and spa business since the 1980s.

Kishore Buxani, chief executive of Buxani Group, said: “We are extremely pleased to add the Best Western Plus Keavil House Hotel to our existing portfolio of hotels in the UK. This demonstrates our continued interest, commitment and confident in the UK hospitality sector, and we hope to grow our UK footprint even further.”

Harmil Singh, president and chief executive of Compass Hospitality, added: “Our continued expansion in the UK reflects our strong favorable outlook for the UK hospitality industry. Compass Hospitality will continue to collaborate with our partners to identify strategic hotels for acquisition and management.”

Compass Hospitality operates 50 properties around the world. Starting with Southeast Asia, the group has been expanding in the UK since 2015 and now has a portfolio of 19 hotels in the UK, including in Liverpool, Dundee, Coventry and Cheltenham.
