Jurys announces UK expansion plan

Irish hotels group Jurys Doyle has unveiled plans to open three more UK sites at a cost of £56.3m.

The hotel group plan on taking its Jurys Inns brand to Glasgow, Leeds and Chelsea in London and, together with a Jurys Inn currently under construction in Newcastle, the developments will expand group capacity by almost 1,000 bedrooms.

The group currently has 32 hotels and inns in Ireland, the UK and the United States, with a total of 6,145 bedrooms.

It will have 15 of its three or four-star Jurys Inns operating in the UK and Ireland when the three new sites announced are built.

The plans come three months after Jurys Doyle said it was "cautiously optimistic" about its prospects for the year ahead.
