US-based Valor Hospitality Partners has added Hotel Indigo in Liverpool, Ramada Manchester in Salford Quays and Ramada Birmingham City (pictured) to its portfolio.  

Valor has also unveiled development plans for the Doubletree by Hilton Chester Hotel and Spa. The hotel, built around an 18th-century manor house in 12 acres of garden, will undergo a refurbishment starting October 2015.  80 new bedrooms will be added and the gardens will be transformed into team building space. The work should be complete by March 2016.

The new hotels bring the group strength to twenty UK hotels with brands, including DoubleTree by Hilton, Hilton, Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza.
