Hilton To Boost UK Presence With Four New Hotels In £200 Million Partnership

Hospitality giant, Hilton is focusing to boost its business in the UK further after announcing a £200m investment partnership with private equity firm Dominvs Group today (28) with an objective to build three new hotels in London and one in Bath.

Among the latest acquisitions are two hotels on either side of the Square Mile, with Creed Court Hotel by St Paul’s Cathedral and Hampton Hotel in Aldgate. Over 500 rooms are set to be brought unto the market as part of the four new projects which constitute Hilton’s rapidly growing portfolio of over 180 hotels in the UK.


The projects also included a Marylebone hotel under its new ‘Motto’ urban lifestyle brand.

In the next 24 months, the hospitality chain aims to start around 40 hotels across London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester, and Glasgow.

“We’re seeing growing consumer demand at every price point and these hotels will add exceptional new rooms in prestigious urban locations,” said Patrick Fitzgibbon senior vice president of development in Hilton’s Europe, Middle East and Africa operations.

Sukhpal Ahluwalia, founder and chairman of Dominvs Group, said, “as we continue to grow our presence in prime UK destinations, we’re pleased to extend our partnership with Hilton. In addition to the world’s first Motto by Hilton hotel, our planned properties in London and Bath under Curio Collection by Hilton and Hampton by Hilton will be important additions to our portfolio.”

Why Moody's is warning banks not to become too dependent on AI giants

  • More than 75 per cent of City firms already use AI, according to a UK Treasury select committee report.
  • Moody's warns that an outage at one major AI provider could potentially affect banks and other sectors at the same time.
  • Banks could also face higher AI costs, data risks and faster movement of customer deposits between accounts.

Banks are rushing to bring artificial intelligence into everything from customer service to credit decisions, but Moody's is warning that the technology could create a new weakness for the financial system: too much dependence on too few technology companies.

The rating agency says the growing use of AI by banks and insurers could eventually reduce costs and increase revenues. But as financial firms adopt similar systems, they are also becoming increasingly reliant on a relatively small group of companies providing AI models and cloud computing infrastructure.
