This well-known, 183-bedroom hotel is available free and clear of the current Qbic Hotels branding, on a leasehold basis, making it a unique opportunity to enter the London hotel market at scale.
The Qbic London City benefits from an enviable location close to the Square Mile, just a stone’s throw away from Aldgate East Underground Station and London’s many iconic tourist attractions. The property is surrounded by some of the city’s best street food, cafes and restaurants, art galleries, niche shops and nightlife within the bustling districts of Whitechapel and Spitalfields.
The hotel opened in 2013, following the success of the original Qbic Hotel in Amsterdam, and has undergone continual investment and improvement across its bedroom range since. The hotel marries hi-tech with its strong environmental credentials and the latest sleep technology and has a strong following from both leisure and corporate guests.
Additional hotel facilities include Motley Bar & Restaurant, a highly popular venue on the Whitechapel circuit along with a range of meeting rooms, co-working spaces, and a car park with electric vehicle charges.
The Qbic London City is renowned as London’s leading eco-friendly green hotel, considering the environment at the very heart of its operations. From the design of the hotel’s green energy systems including solar panels, sensor lights through to its water-saving initiatives and re-purposing of much of its FF&E, it has been a pioneer in meeting its customers green energy demands and has secured an EPC “A Rating” as a result.
Andrew Evangelou, Director and Head of London Hotels in Christie & Co’s Hospitality team is handling the sale and comments, “We are delighted with the response to our marketing of Qbic London City since we launched it to the market just three weeks ago. There is a real pent-up demand from domestic and international hotel operators to have bedroom inventory ready for the inevitable surge in leisure demand from May, once the hotel can open fully to leisure and corporate guests. Inviting offers on the 19 March will allow us to ensure a buyer can be selected in good time, to ensure a smooth handover.”
Phase One Offers are due by Friday 19 March 2021. Enquiries should be directed to the Project Team listed below.
