The Knutsford-based hotel, which offers 81 guest bedrooms, a championship golf course and an award-winning spa and health club, was selected as the ‘perfect addition’ to the group’s portfolio.

Rahail Aslam, chief executive officer of Select Group, which he founded in 2002, said: “We truly believe that Mere Golf Resort and Spa has a high potential to become the best resort of its class in the north west of England. We are looking forward to achieving this goal by working closely together with the hotel team.”

Select Group intends to invest in the facilities, with plans to refurbish the interior and exterior parts of the hotel and upgrade the rooms and public spaces.

The Dubai-based developer already has successful relationships with some of the most prominent brands in the hospitality industry, including IHG, Jumeirah Group, ACCOR, Six Senses, Radisson and Melia.
