Which Dragon's Den investor is associated with the hotel group Bannatyne Hotels?

Duncan Bannatyne is associated with the hotel group Bannatyne Hotels.

Bannatyne built a diversified business career that included health clubs, spas and hotels. The Bannatyne Hotels name is part of that wider group of hospitality and leisure interests, linking his personal brand to accommodation as well as fitness and wellness. He became one of the best-known Dragons after joining the BBC programme's investor panel.

Bannatyne's business story began with smaller ventures and expanded into a larger leisure empire. Viewers sometimes identify him only with the television programme or assume that every business carrying his name was his original enterprise. In reality, his portfolio developed over time and included different operating companies and sectors. He is also distinct from other former Dragons with hospitality interests, such as Peter Jones, whose investments have covered technology, telecommunications and consumer businesses. The hotel connection is therefore a useful way to distinguish Bannatyne from the panel's other entrepreneurs.
