The Wynnstay Hotel which closed down yesterday


More of Stephanie Booth’s hotels were closed today as her company Llangollen Hotels Limited and its parent company Global Investments Group went into administration.

The Anchor Hotel in Ruthin and The Chester Bridge Hotel in Chester, both leased by Mrs Booth, were closed today by administrators KPMG as well as the Funhouse in Oswestry.

100 jobs are believed to have been lost as a result of the closures.

Yesterday Wrexham.com revealed how staff had been left unpaid as The Wynnstay Hotel and two branches of the Funhouse in Wrexham and Mold closed without warning.

Mrs Booth’s freehold businesses Bodidris Hall in Llandegla, The Wild Pheasant Hotel and The Chainbridge Hotel and The Bryn Howel in Llangollen all remain open until a sale can be agreed by the administrators.

Administrators said that all bookings and deposits would be honoured at the remaining hotels until the point at which they are sold.
