Summary:

  • Nanak Hotels, owned by British Indians, acquired the 60-room Kings Court Hotel, a 17th-century property in Warwickshire, England, for $3.74 million.
  • The firm plans to invest in the property's refurbishment and repositioning.
  • Colliers International UK brokered the deal, led by Josh Sullivan and Peter Brunt.

UK-BASED NANAK HOTELS recently acquired the 60-room Kings Court Hotel, a 17th-century property in Warwickshire, England, for £2.75 million or around $3.74 million. This is the first regional acquisition by the privately held firm led by British Indians Harpreet Singh Saluja and Karamvir Singh.


Nanak Hotels, which operates a UK property portfolio, plans to invest in the property's refurbishment and repositioning, according to a statement from Colliers International UK, which brokered the transaction.

“We’re excited to bring Kings Court Hotel into our portfolio as our first Warwickshire acquisition,” said Saluja. “It has a solid foundation and loyal customer base. We see potential to develop the hotel while preserving its heritage.”

The West Midlands hotel, on a 4.2-acre site between Alcester and Redditch, began as a 17th-century farmhouse and now operates as a hospitality business with public areas, event and conference facilities and wedding capacity for up to 130 guests.

The hotel’s previous owner said Kings Court had been central to their work for over 30 years.

“It’s been a privilege to grow it into what it is today,” the owner said. “As we retire, we’re pleased to see it pass to a new owner who shares our commitment to hospitality and has a vision for its future.”

“The sale of Kings Court Hotel drew strong interest due to its size, location and trading performance,” said Josh Sullivan and Peter Brunt of Colliers International UK. “We’re pleased to have completed the transaction with Nanak Hotels and look forward to seeing how they develop the asset.”

In February, UK-based Shiva Hotels, led by founder and CEO Rishi Sachdev, secured $372 million to renovate The BoTree in Marylebone, London. Separately, Indian tech firm Oyo announced a $62 million, three-year plan to expand its UK hotel portfolio by acquiring inventory and securing leasehold and management contracts, supporting 1,000 jobs.
