Legacy Hotels & Resorts Expands Portfolio with Addition of New Continental Hotel

Legacy Hotels & Resorts is delighted to announce the expansion of its growing UK portfolio with the addition of the iconic New Continental Hotel in Plymouth, with exciting plans for a full refurbishment and future rebrand under the globally recognised Tapestry Collection by Hilton.

Situated in the heart of Plymouth ‘Britain’s Ocean City’ the hotel offers an unbeatable central location, just a short walk from the seafront and within easy reach of key transport links, and plenty of onsite parking, making it an ideal destination for both leisure and corporate guests.

This Grade II listed Victorian property blends historic charm with modern convenience, delivering a warm, family welcome and professional service. The hotel will undergo a full refurbishment programme ahead of its transition to the Tapestry Collection by Hilton, significantly enhancing both guest experience and event facilities.

The hotel offers a strong proposition for the meetings and events sector, featuring:

  • 99 well appointed bedrooms
  • 5 flexible meeting and event spaces accommodating up to 350 delegates
  • Elegant function rooms for private and corporate events
  • On-site leisure complex
  • Restaurant and bar facilities
  • Ample city centre parking
  • Superfast, enterprise grade Wi-Fi throughout public areas

With refurbishment plans in place, the hotel is now actively welcoming enquiries for events and group bookings ahead of its transformation, offering a unique opportunity for agents and event planners to secure prime dates and highly competitive rates before the repositioning.

“We are incredibly proud to welcome the New Continental Hotel into the Legacy portfolio. This marks an exciting opportunity to expand our presence in a key regional destination, working in partnership with the hotel’s ownership to support its future transformation, including a full refurbishment and rebrand to Tapestry Collection by Hilton. It’s a fantastic addition for our agency partners, offering both immediate value and strong long-term potential.”

Christine Ferris, National Agency Sales Manager, Legacy Hotels & Resorts
