CASE STUDY - DOUBLETREE BY HILTON CAMBRIDGE
We identified this deal as a great opportunity for acquisition and rebranding. Originally, the Cambridge Garden House, located in Cambridge city centre, was a unique property with potential of being extended.
We approached the sellers, negotiated a deal, made an offer and when this was accepted, started structuring and completing the acquisition. This involved due diligence, arranging financing, legal and tax. Once acquisition was completed, we brought the first Doubetree by Hilton brand into the UK and rebranded the hotel. Property improvements were made as a result and the hotel obtained a strong engine and brand.
