One Hundred Knights reveals its future plans

* The Royal Hotel is operated by One Hundred Knights.

North Wales-based hospitality and leisure operator One Hundred Knights has announced it is set for further expansion in 2021. 

The business is responsible for operating The Royal Hotel, which dates back to 1752, plus wedding venue Tyn Dwr Hall and the Three Eagles Bar & Grill. 

It says that enabling works are continuing at The Royal and that there are plans to open a new restaurant this autumn.  

Knights Construction Group began restoration works at The Royal in July of this, starting with structural works to secure the river wall beneath the hotel footprint. 

One Hundred Knights says new locations have now been identified to further develop the leisure portfolio “bringing new jobs and additional prosperity to the region”.  

One Hundred Knights MD Matt Jones said: “There are big plans happening, the silver lining to what has been a tough year is future growth. 

“We’re enormously proud of our company culture, the community of people we work with and the businesses we operate. Armed with a winning formula, we plan to open more hotels and restaurants in the next five years.” 

The team behind the hospitality group of companies say it has used the previous 12 months to plan for a successful comeback, alongside devising new strategies for growth under the One Hundred Knights brand and development of its senior management team. 

Matt Jones said: “Following a substantial period of progressive growth we have restructured the senior management team to ensure dedicated support in key areas across finance, commercial and marketing. This will prove integral to the team in driving commercial success, with our sights firmly set on further development and rapid expansion.” 

Yvonne Jackson, CEO of Condor Hotels, has been appointed to the One Hundred Knights board of directors to support plans to refurbish and re-launch The Royal Hotel. 

A business consultant, she has over 30 years of hospitality experience, having held senior management positions at 4-star deluxe hotels. 

Since the lifting of restrictions wedding venue Tyn Dwr Hall, which is now in its fifth year of trading, has enjoyed its first full month of weddings, whilst the Three Eagles was recently awarded a 2021 Trip Advisor Travellers Choice Award – its second since the start of trading in 2018. 

“As our reputation grows, so does our confidence in what we can achieve as a group. This is a truly exciting time for One Hundred Knights and our team,” Matt Jones added.

“We will open our new restaurant in the autumn and look to identify further opportunities for new restaurant ventures in the coming 12 to 18 months. 

"Enabling works on The Royal Hotel have already begun in earnest. A full refurbishment and renovation will take place before a newly-realised Royal Hotel is opened to guests in late 2022. 

“The boutique 4* experience will offer something incomparable for the area and entice a broad market to visit the town and surrounding areas whilst providing additional investment for the local economy. 

“From there we see One Hundred Knights will become as a dominant force, with further properties in the coming years both regionally and on a national scale.”
