Devon hotel snapped up after 50 years of family ownership

3 July 2023

A Grade II listed hotel on the Jurassic coast has been purchased by an overseas investor after 50 years under family control. The four-star Hotel Riviera in Sidmouth, around 14 miles southeast of Exeter, houses 26 bedrooms, an 85-cover restaurant, a bar, and function suite. The property was marketed by Knight Frank with an asking price of £3.5m, after previous owners Peter and Dena Wharton prepare to retire from the hospitality industry.
