The Arora Group has bought Luton Hoo Hotel, Golf and Spa from Elite Hotels. The hotel which is close to Luton Airport has 228 rooms and is in over 1,000 acres of parkland, woods, and lakes.

Surinder Arora, CEO and Chairman of the Arora Group commented: “Our acquisition of Luton Hoo Hotel, Golf and Spa continues to support our strategy to diversify our hotel portfolio and we are excited to build on the already significant investment and development by Elite Hotels since their purchase of the estate in 1999. We are excited to welcome the Luton Hoo Hotel, Golf & Spa team to the Arora Group and are looking forward to the opportunities ahead for our expanded family.”

Graeme Bateman, Managing Director of Elite Hotels, commented: “Naturally, we are sad to be parting company with Luton Hoo Hotel, but we do so in the knowledge that we have passed the custodianship of this wonderful property into safe hands.  We wish Surinder Arora and his team every success as they move Luton Hoo Hotel into a new era.  May I also take this opportunity to express my huge gratitude to Matthew Long, General Manager, and all his colleagues at Luton Hoo Hotel, for their considerable personal commitment over the past 14-plus years.  We will miss them greatly within the Elite family but are sure that they will continue to thrive and prosper under the new ownership.

Elite Hotels retains the Ashdown Park Hotel, Tylney Hall Hotel and The Grand Hotel, Eastbourne.
