A HISTORIC hotel has changed hands in a deal worth more than £15 million.

The Sundridge Park Hotel and Conference Centre, Plaistow Lane, Bromley, has been bought as a going concern by Cathedral Group from Hanover International.

The hotel consists of five detached buildings, including a 1797 Grade I listed John Nash mansion set in 16 acres of woodland, which was originally laid out by Humphrey Repton.

The hotel has facilities for around 7,000 delegates.

The hotel will be operated by Initial Style Conferences, which also runs the Cathedral Group's conference centre in Greenwich.
