Hotels

Village hotels are mainly located on the outskirts of large towns and cities within England, Wales and Scotland. Hotels are mid-sized and operate at the luxury/lifestyle end of the market. Each hotel typically has between 110 and 160 rooms, a bar (branded as The Public House), a restaurant, a Starbucks, a gym (incl. swimming pool) and meeting & conference rooms (branded as MeetMe Business Hub). Most hotels also have a spa and the Village Hotel Blackpool boasts a 18 hole championship golf course.

The chain has 28 hotels which they split into two categories based on the hotel style; Legacy and Black Box hotels. Village currently operates 20 legacy hotels and 8 black box style hotels.
