The Welbeck Hotel represents a rare opportunity to acquire an established and highly regarded hospitality business in the heart of Douglas. Family-owned and operated since 1978, the hotel has built a strong reputation for exceptional service, a welcoming atmosphere and consistent quality, making it a recognised destination both locally and internationally.

Blending the charm and character of a traditional Victorian property with modern guest expectations, the hotel provides comfortable and well-equipped accommodation suited to both leisure and business travellers. Its long-standing trading history and strong market presence position it as a proven and sustainable enterprise with continued appeal and growth potential.

The Welbeck Hotel presents a compelling turnkey investment, combining a long-established trading history with a strong reputation and loyal customer base. Its versatile accommodation mix, proven performance and scope for future development make it an attractive proposition for owner-operators, hospitality groups or investors seeking a stable and profitable business. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-regarded hotel in a prime Douglas location with both lifestyle appeal and commercial strength.

Location

The hotel is ideally situated just off Douglas Promenade, placing it within easy reach of the seafront and many of the island’s key attractions, including the Gaiety Theatre, Villa Marina and Nobles Park. Its central yet slightly elevated position provides both accessibility and a quieter setting, appealing to a wide range of visitors. The proximity to transport links, leisure facilities and commercial areas ensures continued strong demand from both business and leisure markets.

Internal Details

The hotel includes a fully licensed bar, lounge areas and a conservatory-style restaurant serving breakfast, dinner and light refreshments, providing multiple social and dining options for guests. Additional amenities such as laundry services, luggage storage and family-friendly provisions enhance convenience and guest satisfaction.

The business has developed a strong reputation for its high standards of cleanliness, attentive service and welcoming environment, factors that contribute significantly to repeat bookings and positive guest feedback. This established service ethos forms a key part of the hotel’s ongoing success.

Letting Accommodation

27 en suite guest bedrooms offering a wide range of accommodation designed to meet the needs of a broad customer base. The hotel bedrooms are well presented and thoughtfully furnished, offering a variety of layouts including standard, deluxe and family rooms capable of accommodating up to five guests. Each room benefits from en suite facilities and modern conveniences such as Wi-Fi, satellite television, refrigeration and hospitality trays, with some rooms enjoying partial sea views.

In addition to the traditional hotel offering, the self-catering apartments provide an attractive alternative for longer stays and guests seeking additional flexibility. These apartments include fully equipped kitchens with integral appliances and living areas designed for comfort, while still benefiting from full access to the hotel’s services and amenities. This dual offering broadens the hotel’s appeal and strengthens its position in both the short-stay and extended-stay markets.

The Opportunity

The Welbeck trades successfully throughout the year, benefiting from a diverse customer mix that includes business travellers, tourists and longer-stay guests. Its flexible accommodation offering, combined with food and beverage services, provides multiple income streams and enhances overall resilience. The hotel has built a strong brand presence and continues to attract repeat clientele alongside new visitors.

There remains clear potential for further development through enhanced marketing initiatives, increased utilisation of the apartment offering and optimisation of room yields. Additionally, the existing owner’s accommodation could be reconfigured to expand guest capacity, offering a practical opportunity to further increase revenue.
