Nottingham Belfry Hotel and Spa Goes Into Administration

The Nottingham Belfry Hotel and Spa has entered administration, with Anthony Simmons and Ian Corfield of FRP Advisory appointed as joint administrators.

The hotel remains open and continues to trade while the administration process is ongoing. All existing guest bookings and event reservations will be honoured, providing reassurance to customers with forthcoming stays or functions.

All employees have been retained at this stage. Around 120 staff were employed at the end of 2024, and the preservation of jobs will be a key consideration as the process progresses.

The administrators are actively seeking a buyer for the business, with the aim of securing a sale that allows the hotel to continue operating as a going concern and protects employment in the longer term.

The disposal process is being managed by Christie & Co, a specialist commercial property agent. A deadline of 26 January 2026 has reportedly been set for interested parties to submit offers, indicating that the sale process is moving forward at pace.

The administrators have described the hotel as having a strong reputation and a well-established presence in the regional hospitality market. The site benefits from extensive accommodation and a full spa facility, and continues to receive positive customer feedback, including high review ratings for service, facilities and staff.

This administration follows a number of high-profile insolvencies across the UK hospitality and leisure sectors. Rising costs, changing consumer behaviour and wider economic pressures continue to impact businesses across the industry, even those with strong brands and loyal customer bases.
