Really? Funny that their one and only is one of the most run down properties in the UK
It's currently being refurbed and actually doesn't look too bad for a provincial Hilton. Far from superior but definitely looks a lot better than it did.

I'll also be very surprised if the Hilton goes and I imagine there is a long management contract in place which won't be cheap to buy out. But it can be done, you only have to look at what is now the Conrad in London which had a long management contract with IHG. If the owners want out they will find a way.

I'm quite looking forward to this hotel launching as a DT though as its a pretty solid hotel already and is in a good location.
