Crimson Hotels, a privately owned hotel company, has acquired The Trafalgar St. James Hotel in Central London, for an undisclosed sum.
The Trafalgar St. James is a five star hotel and will be the second Hilton Curio Collection acquisition for Crimson Hotels, alongside 100 Queen’s Gate Hotel in South Kensington.
The hotel has 131 rooms and consists of several food and beverage outlets, including a rooftop bar. A new destination restaurant will also open on the ground floor, which will be operated by a high-end Asian restaurant group.
The hotel will be headed up by Federico Ciampi, the current general manager of 100 Queen’s Gate, who has been promoted to the role of cluster general manager.
Alykhan Kassam, CEO at Crimson Hotels, said: “We are delighted to have acquired The Trafalgar St James Hotel with the property making a welcome addition to our portfolio of London hotels. We are looking forward to working with the hotel team, under Federico’s leadership, to firmly establish the property as one of the best in the capital.”
The acquisition of The Trafalgar St. James marks the second Curio Collection by Hilton property in its portfolio alongside 100 Queen’s Gate Hotel, a five-star boutique hotel situated in South Kensington.
