Britannia Hotels is a United Kingdom based hotel group with 51 hotels across the country. It includes the Pontins Holiday Park portfolio. Britannia operates at the budget end of the market with hotels varying in price and star ratings. ==Overview== Britannia Hotels was founded in 1976 with the purchase of the Britannia Country House Hotel in Didsbury, Manchester. Its Chief Executive, founder, and largest shareholder remains Alex Langsam. Langsam is a non-domiciled taxpayer, registered as living in Austria for tax-purposes since 1999.〔http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/business/business-news/hotel-boss-alex-langsam-loses-800185〕 His net personal worth was valued at £90 million in 2013 by ''The Sunday Times''.〔https://www.thecaterer.com/#/articles/348222〕 Its head office is based in the old town hall in Hale, Manchester. A large cluster of the company's hotels are located in and around Manchester. In January 2011, the company bought North West holiday camp business Pontins out of administration in a £18.5m deal which safeguarded about 1,000 jobs. Following the acquisition Britannia had to deal with a series of complaints.〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mg74/features/pontins-camber-sands〕〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/2VhLqbv5SDyD31FtNvVdN5b/pontins-putting-razzle-dazzle-before-health-and-safety〕〔http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/pontins-mass-brawl-southport-holiday-9026245〕〔http://www.eadt.co.uk/business/pakefield_holiday_firm_pontins_rapped_over_misleading_accommodation_advertising_1_2357036〕〔http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/pontins-prestayn-chalet-dirty-beyond-7707529〕〔http://www.gloucestershireecho.co.uk/Family-s-Pontins-misery-holiday-hell/story-20083837-detail/story.html〕〔https://www.judiciary.gov.uk/judgments/pontins-sentencing-remarks-04042012/〕〔http://www.qcompliance.co.uk/pontins-holiday-park-breach-health-safety-disastrous-consequences/〕〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxbg-pLnI0c〕 In the 10 years from 2005 to 2015 the Group enjoyed its most rapid period of expansion acquiring 23 hotels - the most recent including The Palace Hotel in Buxton and The Basingstoke Country Hotel acquired from The Hotel Collection 〔http://www.buxtonadvertiser.co.uk/news/local/new-owners-for-landmark-buxton-hotel-1-7308704〕〔http://www.christie.com/en/news/2015/06/15/britannia_hotels_continues_expansion_with_two_hotel_acquisitions_18465〕 and the Trecarn Hotel Torquay 〔http://www.rustourismnews.com/?p=45567〕 and Cavendish Hotel in Eastbourne.
