Dalata to Build 6th London Hotel

The Dalata Hotel Group has announced plans for its sixth hotel in London.

The Dublin-headquartered group – which owns and operates the Clayton and Maldron chains in Ireland, the UK, the Netherlands and Germany – has agreed lease terms for a new 4-star Clayton Hotel to be developed on the Tower 42 Estate in the City of London.

The new 154-bedroom hotel is expected to open during the second half of 2028, subject to planning approval, and will be located on Old Broad Street in the heart of the City of London financial district.

Dalata has opened four new locations in the UK this year including the Maldron Hotel Shoreditch, which opened in August. This new hotel will bring Dalata’s operating presence in London to 1,030 rooms across six hotels.

Shane Casserly, Deputy CEO of Dalata Hotel Group, commented: “We are excited to expand our footprint in London, with this transaction illustrating the flexibility of our business model as we deliver further growth through leasing, as well as acquisition and development. We are particularly pleased to have commenced a partnership with the Tower 42 Estate, which offers an unrivalled mix of uses in a best-in-class location.

“As part of our Vision 2030, London continues to be a key target city for Dalata, and we believe significant opportunity exists for both our Clayton and Maldron brands. Our proven track record of delivery across both London and the UK, demonstrates our ability to identify and deliver in-demand hotels at excellent locations. Our experience, scale and deep industry expertise positions us strongly to deliver on our ambitious growth plans.”
