Creating and Delivering Successful Hotel Developments
From concept and feasibility to opening and beyond, we develop hotels with a focus on long-term growth and value.

Developments designed by the people who will run them
We work with owners, investors, local authorities and administrators on new-build hotels, conversions and major refurbishment programmes. Every scheme is assessed on the numbers first — what it will trade, what it will cost to operate, and what it will be worth.
Because we are an operator as well as a developer, decisions taken at design stage are tested against how the hotel will actually run once it opens.
The Chatsworth Hotel, Eastbourne
Restoring a Victorian Seafront Hotel
The Chatsworth Hotel occupies a Victorian building on Eastbourne’s Grand Parade. Our refurbishment programme retained and restored the period detail — the cage lift, the marble floors, the seafront frontage — while replacing everything behind it.
New marble bathrooms, a reconfigured piano bar and a purpose-built wellness centre were delivered alongside a full back-of-house upgrade, all phased so the hotel kept trading throughout.
From First Appraisal to Stabilised Trading
Feasibility & concept
Market study, competitor benchmarking and outline trading projections to establish whether a scheme stacks up before significant cost is committed.
Brand & funding
We advise on whether to franchise, brand or trade independently, and present the operating case to funders and investors.
Design & build
Working alongside architects and contractors, we keep operational reality in the drawings — back of house, service routes and staffing all included.
Pre-opening
Recruitment, systems, procurement, distribution and marketing are mobilised in a critical path so the hotel trades from day one.
Opening & stabilisation
Our operational team runs the opening and stays in place until trading, service standards and cost lines have settled.
