Thai company snaps up the Kensington
11 January 2001
The company that owns London's Landmark and Royal Lancaster hotels has bought a third hotel in London.
It has bought the 226-bedroom Kensington hotel, in west Kensington, for an undisclosed sum.
The hotel, built in 1998, has four-crown accreditation from the London Tourist Board.
The Lancaster Landmark Hotel Company, which is Thai-owned, said it would be investing "substantial resources" in improving the Kensington hotel.
Jatuporn Sihanatkathakul, managing director of the company, said: "We have been looking for some time for a suitable third London property that met our main criteria - a quality hotel in an area of unrealised potential."
