Integrity International Group, owned by award-winning hotelier Tony Matharu, has acquired Atlas House, an iconic London landmark in the heart of the capital, together with the Crescent buildings, Tower Hill, for the Blue Orchid Hospitality brand.
The acquisition of Atlas House and Crescent add to the group’s portfolio of luxury multi award-winning independent hotels, apartments, suites, residences, and venues in central London, including 55 Broadway, the iconic Grade I listed building identified as London’s first skyscraper, set to be repurposed into a 526-room leading hotel in St James’s Park.
Atlas House is an elegant Grade II listed building situated at the core of the historic City of London, between the Guildhall, St Paul’s Cathedral and the Bank of England – on the junction of King Street, Queen Street, and Cheapside.
The Crescent, a stunning collection of Georgian buildings, adjoins Blue Orchid’s multi award-winning Tower Suites hotel and benefits from views of the Tower of London and the historic Roman Wall, in a prime City location.
Tony Matharu, Founder and Chairman of Integrity International Group and Executive Chairman of Blue Orchid Hospitality, commented: “The recent acquisition of Atlas House and the Crescent portfolio demonstrates our continued commitment to invest in and breathe new life into London property, particularly those buildings at the end of their previous lives, ensuring that London remains the best place to live, work, visit, and invest.
“The team at Integrity International Group has unrivalled expertise in acquiring, developing and operating first-class hospitality facilities. We look forward to continuing to make a positive difference to central London and its world-class offering to international and domestic visitors, workers, and residential communities alike.”
A true Londoner, Tony Matharu has delivered over 2,500 hotel rooms and 1,750 jobs throughout London, and with the expansion of the Blue Orchid collection continues to create local employment opportunities.
Integrity International Group recognises that the most sustainable way to create new value in London is to reinvest in existing buildings, particularly heritage sites built for a different demographic. The purchase of Atlas House and Crescent provides exciting opportunities to transform landmark properties into world-leading hotels, whilst retaining, restoring and enhancing spectacular heritage sites.
