Private equity firm KSL Capital Partners has acquired the parent company of The Pig Hotels, a collection of rural properties on England's south coast, in partnership with its co-founder, Robin Hutson.
Hutson will continue as chairman and will retain a stake in The Pig. Tom Ross, previously group operations director, has taken on the role of managing director.
Founded in 2011, The Pig Hotels has eight properties located in the countryside throughout southern England. Guests are served homegrown food in a relaxed setting. What cannot be grown on site is primarily sourced from within 25 miles of each hotel.
"The team at The Pig has created something truly unique and exceptional: hotels set in the English countryside which are dedicated to providing genuine hospitality and are at the forefront of environmental responsibility. We look forward to being part of this journey and supporting the management team," said KSL Capital Partners partner Tina Yu.
With KSL's backing, The Pig will seek to add more hotels throughout the U.K.
