Not only will it be a landmark development for the capital but it will create upwards of 400 jobs. This is what our group is all about – investment in potential, creation of jobs and a huge vision for the future." Of the group's 14 hotels, 12 are in London with the other two hotels in Manchester and Guildford. All except the Guildford hotel are owned by the company.
