MY Construction Group’s Post

Well, here's a surprise. Virgin Hotels is coming to London with the opening of Virgin Hotels London Shoreditch on 1st August. With the opening date so close, this can only mean one thing ..... This is not a new hotel. It will be a rebrand of the Mondrian Shoreditch London hotel, which is currently part of Accor Live Limitless. Of course, the Mondrian Shoreditch London hotel is itself a rebrand. The site opened as private members club The Curtain, which slipped into receivership in September 2020. It survived less than three years, proving that an expensive PR campaign counts for nothing if your underlying product is wrong. Accor saw an opportunity to revive the Mondrian brand, which was originally used on what is now the Sea Containers London hotel. It clearly didn't work as planned, and this is now the second Mondrian-branded hotel to fail in London. Whilst I think the location is poor (by East London standards) the key selling point of the property is the rooftop pool – see image below. It is relatively small when you see it in the flesh, however, and is not a patch on, say, the rooftop pool at New York’s original Soho House. The London weather probably didn’t help either ….. There is no formal points redemption scheme in place with Virgin Red and Virgin Hotels, but we have seen one-off promotions for specific hotel. Hopefully we will see something appear for this new hotel, if only to bump up occupancy in the early months. #virginhotels #virgingroup #ennismore #accorhotels #virginred #shoreditch (If you're not one of the 2,600 people who subscribe to ‘The Travel Brief’, our free weekly LinkedIn newsletter for UK travel professionals, click into my profile.)

💡 Why #Marriott, #Hilton and #Hyatt Don’t Own Nearly 99% of Their #Hotels ➡️ Two-thirds of #US Hotels carry the name of a major brand. ➡️ Companies like Marriott, Hilton and Hyatt don’t own or even run most of the properties. 💡 Here’s what’s behind that strategy and what it means for consumers.

Progressing well with phase two handed over today!!
