Heading up the purchase is Ben Young, Managing Director of the collection.
“Falmouth deserves its eponymous hotel to shine brightly as a beacon of pride for the town,” he explains. “This is more than just a business deal for us. The Cornwall Hotel Collection has many personal ties and anecdotal links to The Falmouth Hotel. My family were on the Board of Directors for the original company, right up until the hotel was acquired by the Richardson Group in 2005. The foundation stone itself was laid in 1865 by the brother of the first owner of our hotel in Truro.
Furthermore, we believe that The Falmouth Hotel should properly reflect the town’s vibrant spirit and rich heritage,” Ben continues. “Through careful restoration and strategic enhancements, we will create a hotel destination that celebrates Falmouth’s unique identity while offering outstanding hospitality. We are focused on preserving and improving the hotel for the benefit of the town, the employees, and all stakeholders involved.”
