Château Rhianfa has been acquired by Interesting Hotels
March 2017 — Clarenco LLP, a group of companies that focus on property, has sold Château Rhianfa to Interesting Hotels, a collection of individual hotels located in the UK, for an undisclosed consideration.
Château Rhianfa is a grade II listed French-style château on the Isle of Anglesey, North Wales. It operates as a four-star hotel and is set within two acres of private land, with breathtaking views across the Menai Straits to the mountains of Snowdonia. Originally built in 1849 as a gift from Sir John Hay Williams to his wife, the house draws its influences from the châteaux of the Loire Valley with its circular turrets, balconies and mullioned sash and gothic bay windows. The property was refurbished in 2011 by Mike and Carol Clare, the founders of Clarenco and opened as a hotel in 2015. The hotel has 30 bedrooms and an award-winning restaurant, attracting leisure guests from across the UK and overseas.
