Bespoke Hotels to manage Talbot hotel in Ripley again

Bespoke Hotels is to manage the Talbot hotel in Ripley, Surrey, for a second time.

Having been operated by Bespoke until August 2012, management of the 43-bedroom former coaching inn passed to Marco Pierre White and then to Jupiter Hotels in April 2014.

Graham Marskell, managing director of Bespoke Hotels, said: "We are delighted to be resuming our stewardship of the Talbot. It's a property brimming with personality, which adds both character and history to our portfolio. We look forward to investing in the property and enhancing its appeal together with the hotel team."

Built in the 15th century, the Talbot offers a restaurant serving modern British food, and events space for up to 120 guests.

Founded in 2000, Bespoke Hotels today comprises a portfolio of around 170 primarily managed properties worldwide.
