“Grand Heritage will manage and invest directly in the £400m new development project that includes 600 hotel rooms and 250 woodland lodges.”

He added: “I am very excited for Grand Heritage to return to investing in United Kingdom hospitality projects and this US/UK joint venture may well be the start of several further developments.”
