Didn Butlins also own hotels?
Butlins HotelYes in the 1950s they began acquiring hotels in Brighton, Blackpool and several in Cliftonville. In later years they were joined by further hotels in Scarborough, Llandudno, London and even Spain. The camps at Ayr and Skegness also had separate self-contained hotels within the grounds. The hotels obviously didn’t have the same huge range of activities as the camps but most of them still offered a selection of bars, a theatre, swimming pool, competitions and of course the Redcoats. All the hotels were sold in 1998 but most are still open today under new ownership. In 2003 the company announced plans to build a brand new luxury hotel at the Bognor centre which will compliment the existing apartment and chalet accommodation.
