What Mikhail Hotel & Leisure Group does

Mikhail Hotel & Leisure Group Ltd is a privately held UK hospitality company founded in 2015 by Andrew Mikhail and headquartered at The Bold Hotel, 583 Lord Street, Southport. The group operates 12 physical venues across Merseyside and the Northwest of England spanning four format categories: luxury hotels (The Grand Southport, The Bold Hotel, Lord Street Hotel, Eccleston Arms), traditional and themed pubs and bars (Punch Tarmey's Irish bars, Maverick's Top Gun-themed dive bar, The Brewery Tap, Doctor Duncan's dating to 1901), entertainment venues (ArCains gaming, Hot Shots Darts with AR lanes), and restaurants.

The company generates revenue primarily through in-person transactions across these venues — accommodation bookings, food and beverage sales, entertainment entry fees, event hosting (corporate, weddings, celebrations), and group bookings. A secondary, cross-border revenue stream exists via Sea the Stars, a 2022 Segue 46 Flybridge luxury yacht charter operated from Cala del Forte, Ventimiglia, Italy. Gift cards sold through a Toggle-powered online platform provide a minor digital channel. The group reports 35 employees and runs wholly on physical venue distribution; no proprietary technology, APIs, mobile apps, or disclosed technology stack are referenced.

Beyond the core venue portfolio, Mikhail has built out adjacent subsidiaries — Southport Market, Mikhail Interiors (interior design and furnishing), and David Davies Estate Agent — that vertically support venue operations, property acquisition, and fit-out. The company is privately held and founder-controlled, with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or public listing. No revenue figures are publicly disclosed.
