US investment firm KSL Capital Partners has announced the acquisition of the Belfry Hotel and Golf Resort - located amid 550 acres (223 hectares) of Warwickshire countryside, UK.

A subsidiary of the De Vere Group has been appointed to operate the resort, with the group having owned the Belfry prior to its sale to an affiliate of The Quinn Group in 2005.

It is the world's only four-time host of the Ryder Cup and features a 324-bedroom property housing seven dining outlets, a 25,000sq ft (2,323sq m) fitness centre and simply THE spa.

The Belfry's spa - inspired by Eastern promise and ultimate tranquility - currently includes 10 treatment rooms; a bespoke pregnancy room; and a double treatment rooms.

Elsewhere, the spa includes a contemporary manicure and pedicure room and post-treatment areas. ESPA, Clarins, Solutions, Jessica, Fake Bake and Bare Escentuals products are used.

KSL is now proposing to undertake a comprehensive refurbishment of the hotel - including all public areas, bedrooms, dining outlets and meeting spaces to enhance visitor experience.

De Vere Group chief executive Andrew Coppel said: "We look forward to working with KSL and re-establishing The Belfry as one of Europe's premier destinations."

KSL partner Richard Weissmann added: "The Belfry is the perfect opportunity for our first resort investment in Europe."
