Seafront hotel in Llandudno sold for first time in 75 years
Over the decades, the hotel has grown from a 20-bedroom guest house to a significant hotel property in one of the most desirable locations in Llandudno.
Directly fronting onto the promenade, the five-storey Victorian building has 62 ensuite bedrooms, many with sweeping views across Llandudno Bay. There is also a bar and lounge area which regularly hosts entertainment, and a restaurant which is open to the public.
The hotel has been owned by the Bream family for over 75 years, and has been sold by brothers Gareth and Paul Bream due to retirement.
Four Saints Hotels, who already own Brig Y Don, Lauriston Court, and Headlands hotels, also located on the Llandudno seafront, have bought the site. Sign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox
Gareth and Paul said: 'The Bream family are pleased to announce the sale of the Merrion Hotel, through Christie & Co, to Mr and Mrs Rozek of the Four Saints Hotels. We congratulate them as the new owners and wish them every success in the future.'
Dr Shoukry Rozek said: 'We are delighted to welcome Merrion Hotel into the Four Saints Hotels family. I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Bream family for their decades of exceptional stewardship, and to all the legal, financial, and professional advisors who made this transaction possible.
"This acquisition strengthens our position in Llandudno's hospitality market and creates exciting opportunities for our guests and team members. We look forward to building upon Merrion Hotel's strong foundation while maintaining the high standards of service that define our group.'
Tom O'Malley at Christie & Co, who handled the sale, said: 'The Merrion is one of the nicest hotels in Llandudno, and probably in the best location, making it a wonderful addition to the portfolio of Four Saints Hotels. I wish brothers Gareth and Paul all the very best with their retirement and thank them for trusting me with the sale of this hotel.'

Where did Lidl get its name? Lidl was set up in Germany in 1930 when Josef Schwarz became a partner in a company called Südfrüchte Großhandlung Lidl & Co. This had been established by Anton Lidl since at least 1858 under the name & Cie, specialising in the sale of exotic fruits. Schwarz renamed the company Lidl & Schwarz KG and expanded into a food wholesaler. In 1977, under his son Dieter Schwarz, the Schwarz Group began to focus on discount markets and larger supermarkets. Recommended reading: Dieter wasn't keen on using his own name for this, as the name Schwarz-Markt translates to 'black market'. He wanted to use the name of his father's former business partner, but legal reasons prevented him from doing so. When he discovered a newspaper article about a painter and retired schoolteacher Ludwig Lidl, he bought the rights to the name from him for 1,000 German marks. From there, the Lidl name was used and it expanded into many countries over time.

Inside the Scottish auction of rare treasures, from a Culloden cannonball to £12,000 frock
Every year, the Scotland Collected auction at Lyon & Turnbull offers buyers the chance to own some of the country's finest treasure. This year is no exception. On August 20 and 21, with a public viewing at their 33 Broughton Place premises from August 17 to 20, they'll be selling over 700 incredible lots. You could end up being the proud owner of, among many other things, an Edwardian sporran, a Victorian style antler settee, a Flying Scotsman train set, a bust of Robert Louis Stevenson, or a bottle of rare whisky. We spoke to head of sales John Mackie, and a few of the other specialists, about the forthcoming sale. Are the Scotland Collected auctions especially popular? As Scotland's oldest auctioneers, we are proud to hold our annual Scotland Collected auctions. This sale attracts buyers from all over the world, particularly those with Scottish lineage or those with an interest in our history and its craft. Are your buyers usually from abroad, or from here in Scotland? We have a mix of collectors, those who are based in the UK and those in countries like the USA, Canada and Australia with a strong Scottish connection. However, it is always surprising to see what wide and varied quarters the bidders come from. What particularly interesting lots do you have in the sale? Following on from the record-breaking Cairncross Collection auction in August 2025, we are excited to announce the largest private collection of Scottish freshwater pearl jewellery ever to come to market. Carefully collected over a number of years with the assistance of Cairncross of Perth, this collection was amassed by a private connoisseur who hopes their enthusiasm can now be passed on to a new generation of collectors. It is a remarkable opportunity to see, not only a comprehensive record of the renowned Perthshire jewellers designs celebrating the flora of Scotland, including designs rarely found at auction, such as the Timorous Beasties' brooch and a horse-chestnut design; but also a vast array of of Scottish freshwater pearls, showcasing the wide range of colours, shapes and lustres this magical Scottish gem can take. This year's auction is particularly varied with a range of Wemyss Ware, provincial and Scottish silverware, hardstone jewellery, Jacobite works of art and collections formed by individuals and families over many years. It also includes one of the largest collections of Scottish pistols to come to the open market in perhaps decades. These and other weapons link closely to the nation's turbulent past but are made with such quality they are works of art in their own right. These connect in with our wider Jacobite section which is always a very popular area to collectors. The collection spans early 17th century examples, which are extremely rare, to the iconic silver and steel Doune pistols. We are also delighted to present a collection from the former Earls of Airlie - a lineage stretching to Robert the Bruce and King James VI of Scotland and II of England. The Ogilvy family was established with lands in Angus as early as the 15th century, with Airlie Castle's foundations laid in 1432. For successive centuries, they have always had a close relationship to the monarchy; raising armies during the Jacobite rebellions to more recently, Lord Ogilvy 13th (8th) Earl of Airlie (1926-2023), who, acting as Lord Chamberlain to Queen Elizabeth II, saw him oversee many significant Royal events. Which items do you expect to do particularly well? A wonderful lot in the sale is a dress worn by Lady Margaret Ogilvy, the Countess of Airlie, which reputedly was worn when she was a guest at Holyrood Palace in 1745, where Bonnie Prince Charlie was in attendance. Lady Ogilvy and her husband, David Ogilvy, 6th Earl of Airlie, were prominent Jacobites and supporters of Bonnie Prince Charlie in Scotland. Eighteenth-century Scottish clothing with provenance is rare, but to have a piece connected to such a remarkable original owner, and one who may even have danced with the Prince himself, sets the imagination alight. Do the staff have any personal favourites? Kier Alexander, silver specialist: 'We usually offer a fine selection of work by the Scottish silversmith Graham Stewart,and this year is no exception, featuring his iconic honeycomb candlesticks, a beautifully engraved bowl, and a remarkably large centrepiece.' John Mackie, head of sales: 'At this time of year with the countryside in full abundance just looking at a hedgerow with its dog roses, buttercups and other wildflowers reminds me of the myriad patterns that inspired the well-known and collectable Fife pottery Wemyss Ware. Personally, I am very fond of the small pigs that the factory produced from the late 19th century onwards – the early examples are well-modelled and their slightly bewildered expressions are very engaging!' Colin Fraser, specialist: 'It has to be the 18th century invalid feeder, made by Hugh Clark of Perth. Not only is he a particularly rare maker, but invalid cups are seldom seen. This appears to be the only known example from Perth. Although it looks just like a rather odd cream jug this would have been essential to making sure a patient received food and most likely medicine from their carer.' Anything that's particularly rare? Colin Fraser: 'Rare items include a cannonball recovered from the battlefield of Culloden which is a wonderful example of a Scottish relic with an incredible story and provenance back to a family closely connected with the cause. Having been in an exhibition previously this is the first time it has ever been offered for sale.' Any items that are very collectable? Wemyss Ware was developed in the late 19th century as a more sophisticated, decorated range to complement the standard transfer-printed and other wares produced at the Fife Pottery. In many ways Wemyss is perfect for collectors, with its myriad range of patterns and shapes, each hand-painted by a particular artist and, by and large, identified by a maker's mark. It is an instantly recognisable aesthetic: the brightly coloured decoration on a stark white background, drawing inspiration from the Fife countryside. For more information, see

Scottish farmer pushes for boycott of Israeli produce at city market
Mike Callender, who owns award-winning veg box delivery service East Coast Organics near Haddington in East Lothian, has been boycotting Israeli veg since he launched the [[business]] in 1996. The 62-year-old has been voicing his anger over the genocide being carried out in Gaza in weekly newsletters to around 5000 customers and ex-customers, including his fears around farmers being murdered and their struggle to get their produce to markets. As well as making moves to try and get his farm twinned with one in Palestine as a way of showing support, Callender is pushing for [[Edinburgh]] Farmer's Market – for which he is treasurer on the committee – to become an 'apartheid-free zone', clear of any Israeli produce. READ MORE: Palestine recognition is 'worthless' without concrete action, expert says The dad-of-two told The National: 'At the moment I'm the treasurer of the Edinburgh Farmer's Market, there's five of us on the committee, and maybe about 30 members. I put it to them that the market should become an apartheid-free zone. 'One person thought it was a great idea, another was apprehensive and said we should put it to members, which of course we should. It's fizzled out a bit, but I'm still pushing at it. 'People are claiming it's political but it's got nothing to do with politics. The Co-op members voted for it, so if the Co-op can do it, surely we're more ethical than a supermarket?' A motion proposed at the Co-op AGM in May calling for a cease to all trading with Israel was backed by around 73% of members. It announced in June it would no longer be sourcing carrots from Israel, among other products from 'countries of concern'. Callender (below) said that while many people feel they cannot affect the situation in Gaza, he feels boycotting produce could go some way to helping stop the apartheid if more people and businesses come on board. (Image: Supplied) 'You sort of think people feel there's nothing they can do to change things but boycotting definitely does help and I do think it did help in changing apartheid in South Africa so maybe, [you've got to] hit people where it hurts and something will have to change,' he said. Callendar has been committed to raising awareness of the assault on Gaza ever since the aftermath of October 7, and is passionate about making more people understand the atrocities taking place. 'I think on a personal level I've always supported Palestinians in what they've been going through. I remember a few years ago a journalist being shot by Israeli forces and then when the funeral came and a crowd were carrying the coffin, the Israeli police sort of baton-charged them. It's just absolutely outrageous and from then I've followed it and taken an interest. READ MORE: Donald Trump in Scotland 'can only be a good thing', says Anas Sarwar 'When the Landworkers' Alliance came up with the idea of twinning with a farm in the West Bank, I sort of thought that would have relevance to our customers now because small farms are being raided, farmers are being killed, and having their land stolen.' The Palestine Solidarity Twinning Project is a collaboration between the Landworkers' Alliance (LWA) and the Union of Agricultural Work Committees and aims to build grassroots solidarity with farmers and landworkers in Palestine by connecting them with LWA members in the UK. Callender said there has been the occasional person who has responded negatively to his newsletters, but he said he is prepared to lose customers to stand up for what is right. Asked why he is speaking out about Gaza, he said: 'I think it's just so more people understand what's going on. 'I did a newsletter when the invasion first happened and I put that we'd made a donation to UNRWA. I knew it would make some people angry, but I think more people know about it now and you've even got the Daily Express showing pictures of starving babies on the front cover. 'Even if we lost half our customers, I would still do it again.'
