The newly acquired portfolio will join the Leonardo Hotels family and will be integrated into the wider Leonardo portfolio, which will comprise over 80 hotels after the recent acquisition.
Together with Leonardo Hotel London Heathrow Airport, Leonardo’s portfolio in the UK will grow to seven hotels with 1,048 bedrooms.

“The purchase of Portland Hotels underscores this.
“I am convinced that our guests will love and appreciate this expansion of our offerings in key destinations across Scotland.”
