Integrity International Group, owned by hotelier Tony Matharu, founder of the recently restructured Grange Hotels Group, has acquired Atlas House, along with the Crescent buildings, Tower Hill, for his Blue Orchid Hospitality brand.
Atlas House is a Grade II listed building situated in London between the Guildhall, St Paul’s Cathedral and the Bank of England, on the junction of King Street, Queen Street, and Cheapside.
Meanwhile, The Crescent, a collection of Georgian buildings, adjoins Blue Orchid’s Tower Suites hotel and benefits from views of the Tower of London and the historic Roman Wall.
The acquisition of Atlas House and Crescent adds to the group’s portfolio of luxury independent hotels, apartments, suites, residences, and venues.
These include the Westminster-based Wellington and Rochester hotels; Tower Suites – winner of the 2023 and 2024 Travellers’ Choice Award for exceptional guest experience; Tower Residences – a new addition to the City’s accommodation offering; and 55 Broadway, the Grade I listed building identified as London’s first skyscraper, set to be repurposed into a 526-room hotel in St James’s Park.
Integrity International Group was established by Matharu, the founder of Grange Hotels, which he ran as the group managing director, until its key London sites were sold to Jurys Inn (now Leonardo Hotels) in 2019.
Matharu has delivered over 2,500 hotel rooms and 1,750 jobs throughout London, and with the expansion of the Blue Orchid collection continues to create local employment opportunities.
Matharu said: “The recent acquisition of Atlas House and the Crescent portfolio demonstrates our continued commitment to invest in and breathe new life into London property, particularly those buildings at the end of their previous lives, ensuring that London remains the best place to live, work, visit, and invest.
“The team at Integrity International Group has unrivalled expertise in acquiring, developing and operating first-class hospitality facilities. We look forward to continuing to make a positive difference to central London and its world-class offering to international and domestic visitors, workers, and residential communities alike.”
