Cohort Capital provided a £19.8 million loan to support the acquisition of the Hilton London Syon Park. The facility enabled the borrower to secure the asset within a tight timeframe, demonstrating Cohort’s ability to move decisively in complex, time-sensitive scenarios.

The hotel is located on the edge of the historic Syon House estate, a 200-acre pastoral setting that has served as the Duke of Northumberland’s country residence for over four centuries. Purpose-built as a four-star hotel, the property comprises 137 rooms averaging 32 sq m, including nine suites with private balconies/terraces overlooking the gardens.

The loan is expected to be repaid via either a sale of the asset or refinancing, following a planned refurbishment of the interior and renegotiation of the hotel’s agreement with Hilton Worldwide. The transaction represents the type of high-quality, operationally rich asset that aligns with Cohort Capital’s lending philosophy. Our support allows the sponsor to unlock further value through refurbishment and strategic repositioning.
