Comment: Rebranded in January 2015 as a Crowne Plaza Hotel. Was called the Hotel Verta until January 2015 when it was marketed as a 5 star hotel.
In April 2014 The hotel parted company with Rhombus when that part of its name, "By Rhombus", was dropped.
Opened in September 2010 when it was owned by Von Essen hotels.
The Hotel Verta was the first hotel in Europe with an adjacent Heliport.
Bought by Nicholas Cowell (Simons brother) in December 2011 after the original owners went into administration. Management was given to Hong Kong-based Rhombus International Hotels Group. At this point the hotels name went from 'The Hotel Verta' to 'The Hotel Verta by Rhombus'.
