The property is set within the historic The Mere, which dates back to 1086. The estate was acquired by Dubai-based Select Group in 2022 for £35 million (US$47 million) and then underwent a £90 million (US$121 million) renovation. 

Israr Liaqat, Group Chief Executive Officer, Select Group, said: “Our ambition from the outset was to create something that would set a new standard for luxury hospitality in the North West of England.” 

The hotel also offers multiple event venues, including a 1,000-square-metre ballroom with capacity for 1,000 guests, alongside four boardrooms with garden views.
