The Hanover International Hotel chain only have hotelsin the UK (well actually having checked the locations it is only England and Wales).
They have 14 Hotels in Skipton, Huddersfield, Scunthorpe, Ashbourne, Hinckley, Daventry, Dunstable, Harpenden, Cardiff Bay, Bromsgrove, Reading, Basingstoke, Chewton(Bristol) and Eynsham (Oxford). The hotels are all 3 or 4 stars and 'most' of the ones I have visited are very good.
All have good facilities such as pools, saunus, gyms, and most offer good business facilities as well.
The standards of hotel and service vary quite a lot across the hotel chain so it pays to check out each hotel prior to any visit.
For example, the Hinckley hotel is a very large modern and impersonal hotel. The staff are reasonable, the restaurant is passable and the facilities are excellent. Compare this with Huddersfield which is the poorest hotel in the chain that I have been in. It is small, very run down with poor facilities but has a reasonable restaurant.
My favourite is the Skipton hotel which is medium sized, has good facilities, nice clean rooms and a good bar and excellent restaurant.
My advice is to check for special rates prior to your visit, ask for a free upgrade to a better room if they wont discount. Check out the hotel details on the web site to make sure it is what you are after.

We visited the hotel in Skipton in August 2003, it advertised towels available for the pool - that had changed. Towels were no longer available. They had no milk or coffee to put in the rooms, they had run out of what seemed a very basic item. Shower gel was not replaced in the bathroom either, but one of the receptionists did try very hard to help and eventually he tracked down some fresh milk.
Breakfasts were disappointing if you wanted continental, fresh fruit was non existent, and toast was the only item to put your selection of jam on. The American visitors seemed very surprised and disappointed. Check out each hotel for what is available. The canal running alongside is great for walks and watching the boats and Skipton is a lovely town.
