A popular four-star hotel and spa near Nottingham has entered administration and administrators have been seeking a buyer while the business continues to operate as normal. The Nottingham Belfry Hotel & Spa located off Mellors Way was placed into administration earlier this month on January 7. According to Companies House, the Nottingham Belfry Hotel & Spa employed around 120 people in the year ending 2024.

Anthony Simmons and Ian Corfield of FRP Advisory were appointed as joint administrators for the East Midlands hotel. Despite the hotel falling into administration, the 120-bedroom hotel remains open.

All employees have been retained and all existing bookings are currently being honoured. This includes overnight stays, spa treatments as well as events.

The hotel has 120 rooms, a restaurant, bar, extensive conference and banqueting facilities capable of hosting up to 700 guests, alongside a health club and Elemis-partnered spa with approximately 600 members.

Spa facilities include six treatment rooms, an indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, relaxation room and a fully equipped gym.

FRP Advisory said the business had been impacted by rising costs and wider pressures facing the hospitality sector, but stressed that efforts are focused on securing a positive outcome.

Simmons, director at FRP and joint administrator, said earlier this month: "The Nottingham Belfry Hotel & Spa is a high-quality venue with an excellent reputation and a strong presence in the local market.

"We're actively seeking a buyer and are focused on securing a positive outcome that preserves the business and protects jobs."

Matt Hill, senior business agent at Christie & Co, who is managing the sale process, added: "We welcome interested parties to contact us for more information about this opportunity. There is a bid deadline of 26 January 2026."

As the future of the hotel remains uncertain, it has yet to be announced whether a buyer has been secured following the bid deadline on Monday.
