Georgian hotel in Whitehaven, Cumbria sold to local businessman through Christie & Co

Located in the coastal town of Whitehaven, a short distance from the Lake District National Park, The Chase Hotel is a popular guest house attracting both business and leisure visitors. The characterful Georgian building comprises 23 elegant ensuite letting bedrooms, as well as conference facilities for up to 60 delegates, and a bar with terrace/dining room, all set within two acres of mature landscaped gardens.

The hotel has been sold to local Whitehaven businessman Nejat Alkan, who said: “We are privileged to have been able to acquire The Chase Hotel, which is a big part of community life in Whitehaven. We are looking forward to continuing to welcome visitors and locals alike. It is certainly business as usual for the hotel and whilst, in the future, we will undertake some upgrades and refurbishments, we are very much looking forward working with our great team of staff to make sure every single guest enjoys their visit.”

Graham Wilkinson, Business Agent at Christie & Co who managed the sale, said: “We are delighted to have concluded the sale of The Chase Hotel. We worked with the previous owner, Brian Proctor, to acquire the hotel 40 years ago and we have now come full circle and helped to enable Mr Proctor to retire, and welcome Nejat Alkan as the new owner of this popular hotel in the heart of Whitehaven. We wish Mr Alkan every success for the future.”

The Chase Hotel freehold was sold at an undisclosed price.
