The Opportunity:
This is a once in million opportunity. The current owners of this 55,000 NIA sqf (77,500 sqf GIA) office building have planning consent to convert to a full-service hotel between 110 and 134 rooms depending on the level of standard required…in our opinion, one would go for the smaller room count to make 110 rooms, full spa with pool, internal courtyard and exclusive restaurant and lounge/bar at ground floor level. The scheme has been prepared by Dexter Moren, one of London’s leading hotel design houses.
The property is available with immediate vacant possession. The current owners, a major reputable fund, whilst maybe considering an outright sale, would prefer to find a hotel operator or investor to partner with on a 50:50 JV basis. Planning permission is in place, which includes building a new eighth floor with magnificent views of London, St James’s Park, Pall Mall. Dexter Moren have drawn up a further alternative scheme for 83 serviced apartments – 45 studios and 38 one-bedroom apartments.
There is also options to keep it as offices, or 21 two and four bedroom residential apartments.
Flag & Management: Free to JV partners
Current Owner: A major UK fund

THPT Comment: Once can think of many deluxe London hotels that this property would compete with…The Stafford, Dukes, Beaumont, Athenaeum and Capital just to name a few. A must-look for any aspiring hotel investors looking for top-location London.
Hotel & Serviced Apartment owners can be naturally reticent in publicising their property is for sale…for confidentiality reasons, for staff and current client reasons, so the properties featured in this section will either be “generic” or “name specific”
