This acquisition and refurbishment are part of a broader capital investment programme in underway across the RedCat Hospitality business.
Exciting expansion
The former coaching inn is a 40-room property situated close to Warwick Castle.
It offers a variety of room types, meeting and event spaces, with the company describing it as having a “distinctive charm” that makes it an ideal addition to the Coaching Inn Group’s venues.
RedCat Hospitality CEO Richard Lewis said: “We’re really excited about this one. The Warwick Arms Hotel marks the start of our exciting expansion plans for the group.
“We plan to invest over £1m into a refurbishment to bring out the best in the building and give guests the kind of experience they’ve come to expect from our coaching inns.”
Reputation
Coaching Inn Group COO Adam Charity added: “For nearly 30 years, we have built a reputation of bringing old inns back to life in some of the UK’s greatest locations – the Warwick Arms Hotel ticks every box.
“We are delighted to welcome the site and its team into the wider Coaching Inn Group family.”
The Coaching Inn Group winner of Best Accommodation Operator at the Publican Awards 2025. The group, which was acquired by RedCat Hospitality in 2021, has a family of unique and historic coaching inns, situated in some of the UK’s most picturesque market towns and villages.
