South West hotel investments rose by 95% in the first half of 2025 compared with the whole of 2024, according to international real estate adviser Savills.
The firm reported that transactions in the region totalled more than £147m between January and June, underlining what it called “growing investor interest” in hotels outside London and the South East.
The increase came despite a slower start for the UK hotel investment market overall, which recorded £1.59bn in transactions in the same period.
Single asset transactions accounted for £1.35bn of the UK total in the first half, up 8.4% year-on-year and 1.7% above the 10-year average for the period of £1.33bn. The South West, which is dominated by single asset deals, benefited from this trend.
Notable transactions in the region included the sale of the Pentire Hotel in Newquay, Cornwall, to Cashmere Hotels for an undisclosed price, and Savills’ sale of Plymouth’s Invicta Hotel to the owners of the Drake Hotel for around £1.5m.
Portfolio sales across the UK were muted following high activity in early 2024. The only portfolio transaction in the South West was the sale of the Falcon Hotel, the Brendon Arms and the Old Lifeboat House in Cornwall to a family office for an undisclosed sum.
James Greenslade, director at Savills Hotels capital markets, said: “The South West hotel market delivered an exceptional performance in the first half of 2025, driven by strong demand for single assets, the continuing popularity of staycations, and a growing investor interest beyond the capital.
“The South West is home to some of the UK’s most desirable holiday destinations and we anticipate this demand to continue throughout the remainder of the year.”
