Thailand-based Compass Hospitality has expanded its operations to the United Kingdom, with the management take-over of The Lion Hotel Shrewsbury in Shropshire and The White Swan Halifax in West Yorkshire.

The Lion Hotel, with a rich heritage dating back to the 1600s, is well-known for its Dickens Suite which the famous English novelist Charles Dickens stayed in whenever he visited the hotel.

The 59-room hotel features The Hayward, a restaurant which serves a traditional British menu for lunch and dinner, as well as  The Oak Bar where guests can lounge with tea, coffee, cakes and healthy light snacks.

There are also several function rooms including the elegantly domed Adam Ballroom where weddings, private dinners, conferences and Christmas parties are hosted. On-site parking is available.

The White Swan comprises 2 functions rooms as well as 40 guest rooms and suites, all of which have in-room Wi-Fi connectivity.

Located in the heart of Halifax Town Centre, guests staying at The White Swan enjoy easy access to a variety of shops, restaurants, bars and museums, while the convenience of public transport connects to nearby towns such as Leeds and Manchester.

At The White Swan, traditional English breakfast is served with a wide selection of petite options. The hotel also has a lounge where guests can relax with tea, coffee and light snacks.

Compass Hospitality's President & CEO, Harmil Singh said, "As the U.K. gains momentum in its economic recovery, our operational presence there will enable Compass Hospitality to grow its footprint and expand to wider Europe. Our business partners and guests will also benefit from our geographical and market expansion."
