The Royal Maritime Hotel in Portsmouth has officially joined BWH Hotels GB as part of the BW Signature Collection.
News of the partnership comes as the group expands its corporate travel and events portfolio. By joining BWH Hotels GB, the hotel will access global distribution, corporate sales channels and the planners advantage loyalty programme.
The partnership is expected to increase midweek occupancy and higher-rated contracted business.
The 90-bedroom hotel is one of Portsmouth’s most historic venues for conferences, group stays and events. Founded in 1850, the hotel operates as a charitable incorporated organisation, reinvesting surpluses to support serving and veteran members of HM Armed Forces.
Located near the Spinnaker Tower, Gunwharf Quays and Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, the hotel aims to capture regional and national corporate demand. Facilities include the Trafalgar Ballroom and a range of meeting and event spaces.
BWH Hotels GB has reported growth in its meetings and events and corporate segment. Group travel and event revenue increased by 11% year-on-year from 2025, supported by improved conversion rates and a focus on higher-yielding contracts.
Meeting and event revenue rose by 17%, with agent-driven business up 18% year-on-year, following the launch of the planners advantage programme.
David Knight, chief executive of BWH Hotels GB, said: “Following detailed consideration, it was clear that BWH Hotels GB was the perfect partner for the Royal Maritime Hotel. Being part of the BW Signature Collection allows us to showcase Portsmouth’s maritime heritage to a worldwide audience while continuing to deliver exceptional service with purpose.”
Nicola Wood-Hill, head of sales at BWH Hotels GB, added: “The Royal Maritime Hotel is the perfect example of the independent, heritage and boutique hotels we help thrive across our portfolio. It already has an established presence in meetings and events and the focus now is on ensuring that strength translates into consistent commercial performance, with the right support in place.
“We’ve already seen a strong response to the launch, with record bookings generated through our onboarding campaign and ‘Power of Two’ ethos.”
