Aston Hotel

Aston Hotels is a new independent hotel group, which currently owns and manages a Darlington-based hotel and which will soon provide leisure and business travellers with superior standard accommodation and exceptional value for money at its new hotel opening in Scotland later this year followed by its first venture in Wales, to open early 2007. Ast... on Hotels' mission is to bridge the gap between top end hotels and basic budget alternatives - offering clients, premium accommodation with state-of-the-art facilities and high service standards for the business and leisure traveller alike. The beautiful Scottish town of Dumfries, an enclave for tourists and an up and coming business and conference destination will be home to Aston Hotels' first Scottish venture, due to open in September 2006. This will be followed by the company's first Welsh hotel opening, scheduled for early 2007 in Neath, which is only seven miles from Swansea and 30 minutes from Cardiff. Neath is a gateway to magnificent countryside and Baglan Energy Park, the UK's largest business park. Aston Hotels' founders are Paresh Kotecha, also the firm's chief executive and Nallan Rangesh who is a non-executive director on the board. The company's board comprises four other directors: John Deighan, operations director, Austen Scattergood, sales and marketing director and Scott Walters, finance director and Tony Elliott, development director. The Aston Hotels' executive board of directors bring an extensive wealth of business and hospitality experience to the new venture with over 100 years of combined hotel and leisure experience between them.Read More
