Moorfields Advisory is pleased to announce the successful sale of the historic Selsdon Park Hotel, the lifestyle hotel and members’ club located in South London, to The Selsdon Hotel Ltd, a company owned by BH Group.
Moorfields was originally appointed in November 2023 as Joint Administrators over the operating company, alongside a separate appointment as Fixed Charge Receivers in respect of the freehold and long leasehold assets. Since appointment, Moorfields has been responsible for stabilising and managing the business, maintaining the hotel for over two years while undertaking a coordinated strategy to preserve value and the underlying property interests.
Following a complex disposal process, which included the acquisition of the hotel’s freehold interest, a sale was completed to BH Group, an experienced hospitality and real estate investor, securing the future of the site which will result in employment to the local area and provide a high quality outlet for future members, guests and suppliers.
The Selsdon Park Hotel is a historic local landmark with its roots dating back to the 19th century, a well-established venue known for its distinctive positioning within the lifestyle hospitality sector. The acquisition provides a platform for continued investment and growth under new ownership which will see the asset return to its former glory.
Milan Vuceljic, Partner at Moorfields Advisory and Joint Administrator, commented:
“This was a complex assignment involving both an administration and receivership, with multiple asset classes and stakeholder interests to align. Having managed the asset for over two years, our focus has been on stabilising the asset, protecting value and positioning the asset for a successful sale.
We are pleased to have achieved a transaction with BH Group, whose experience in the hospitality and property sectors makes them well placed to take the asset forward and build on its strong history and offering.”
A spokesperson for BH Group commented:
“We are delighted to have completed the acquisition of the Selsdon Park Hotel. It is a unique hospitality asset with a strong identity and significant potential.
We look forward to working with and investing in the asset to further enhance its position within the UK’s hotel market.”
