A NEW BEGINNING FOR THE RENAISSANCE LONDON HEATHROW

The Arora Group today announced their further expansion with the acquisition of the 649-bedroom Renaissance London Heathrow from Hotel Property Investors Limited. An agreement was simultaneously reached with Marriott International to continue to operate the hotel within the Renaissance brand.

The Renaissance London Heathrow was built in 1973 and was one of the very first large hotels at the airport. Over the years, the Renaissance has become recognised as one of the leading Heathrow hotels, establishing an excellent reputation for quality, service and value. The hotel’s extensive facilities include a wide range of food and beverage outlets and over 3,000 square metres of flexible meeting space.

Commenting on the purchase, Surinder Arora – Founder and Chief Executive of Arora Hotels said: ‘I have a special relationship with the Renaissance London Heathrow which goes back to the mind-70’s when I worked at the hotel as a part-time banqueting waiter which enabled me the supplement my income to pay for my private pilots licence training. I am therefore delighted to add this prestigious hotel and those that work there to the Arora Group.’

Following the purchase, Arora will immediately embark upon a major refurbishment programme of all bedrooms and public areas as part of the new beginning for the Renaissance London Heathrow.

Reiner Sachau, Chief Operating Officer for Marriott International in Europe said “We are delighted to be partnering with the Arora Group at the Renaissance London Heathrow and are very excited about the wide ranging refurbishment plans that we have for the hotel”.
