Dentons advises Arora Group on its joint acquisition of Novotel London West

London-Dentons advised Arora Group, one of the UK's largest privately owned hotel owner-operators, on its joint acquisition of the Novotel London West in Hammersmith with Madrid-based alternative asset investment group Deva Capital.

This acquisition marks Arora Group's second hotel addition in central London, significantly strengthening the Group's presence in the capital.

The site boasts over 630 guest rooms and one of the largest conference and events facilities in the UK, with capacity for up to 3,000 delegates across 33 flexible meeting spaces.

The purchase of the freehold of Novotel London West expands Arora Group's portfolio to more than 20 hotels and over 8,000 keys, solidifying its position as a leader in the UK's hospitality sector.

The transaction was led by Dentons' Real Estate & Hotels Partner Simon Masri, who was assisted by Corporate Partners Matthew Tinger and Kathryn Alexander, Corporate Associates Ben Havard, Abby Dorani and Katie Henson, Banking & Finance Partner James Irvine, Counsel Pamela Gilmour, Associate Oscar van der Laan, Real Estate Counsel Christopher Foxall, and Senior Associate Sarah Mortimer.

"We are delighted to have assisted Arora Group in this milestone purchase", said Simon Masri. "This acquisition showcases Dentons' market-leading expertise assisting clients on the acquisition of prized hotel locations."
