Botley Park Hotel hires new general manager
Macdonald-owned Botley Park Hotel, Golf and Country Club in Hampshire has appointed a new general manager, who aims to make the hotel one of the finest in the county.
Gordon Riddell joins Botley Park from Donnington Valley Hotel and Golf Course, Newbury, after 18 years in the industry.
He has managed some of the UK’s most exclusive privately-owned country house hotels, including the 12th century Amberley Castle, near Arundel and the Jacobean Welcombe Hotel, Stratford-upon-Avon.
Riddell wants to enhance every aspect of 100-bedroom Botley Park, which stands in 176 acres of parkland and has a spa, golf club and conference centre.
He said: “I aim to reposition Botley Park in the market as one of the best hotels in the area. I also plan to take our restaurants to at least two AA rosette standards.”
