NWH leads investments in UK and Irish hotel assets — from sourcing through to exit — on behalf of family offices, private investors and institutional capital. Our development capability has delivered new-build, conversion and repositioning projects under IHG, Marriott and Hilton brand families. We now also invest alongside our partners.
The same team that sources and underwrites the deal then leads the development, operates the asset, and prepares it for exit — keeping incentives aligned across the full lifecycle.
Hundreds of investment opportunities reviewed annually — both off-market through industry relationships and on-market via brokers. Disciplined screening identifies the small fraction worth pursuing.
Commercially robust, financially extensive due diligence. Operational assessment, market & competitor study, financial modelling, technical condition survey and brand-fit analysis.
Full acquisition project management — transaction structuring, financing arrangement, legal coordination, and brand-franchise negotiation in parallel with the SPA process.
Conversion, refurbishment or new-build — feasibility through opening. Full project management of design, FF&E, fit-out, mobilisation and brand-standard rollout.
Ongoing operational management followed by sale-readiness work and exit execution — typically a 5-year horizon, structured to optimise capital structure and maximise value realisation.
NWH is brand-fluent across the major hotel groups, with active operating relationships under IHG, Marriott and Hilton brand families — plus Best Western and independent. We recommend the brand strategy that's right for each asset, not the one that pays us best.
NWH led one of the first UK conversions under IHG's new midscale Garner brand — a Grade-character heritage Georgian building in central Reading. Conversion completed 2024, operated under franchise.
Two active Marriott engagements: Four Points Flex Birmingham JQ (new-build flex-living, opened 2026) and Four Points by Sheraton Reading (under-development repositioning, target 2026 opening, designed with Studio Spacebrand).
Hampton by Hilton Glasgow — a Hilton-franchised three-star city-centre operation under NWH third-party management, delivering against brand revenue benchmarks within a lean operating model.
Across IHG and Marriott, conversion and new-build, NWH currently has three named development engagements that demonstrate the full investment-and-development capability.
NWH-led conversion of a Grade-character heritage Georgian building in central Reading — repositioned as one of the UK's first properties under IHG's new midscale brand, Garner. From feasibility through to opening, with NWH operating the property post-launch under franchise.
NWH-led development of a new-build flex-living hotel under Marriott's Four Points Flex brand, in the heart of Birmingham's historic Jewellery Quarter. Designed for extended stays and lean operating economics — NWH ran the project from feasibility to opening and operates it today.
NWH-led repositioning of an 80-key city-centre hotel in Reading, currently under comprehensive refurbishment ahead of conversion to Marriott's Four Points by Sheraton brand. Coherent thematic concept rooted in Reading's Victorian commercial heritage, with Bhel Puri Indian street-food restaurant as the F&B anchor. Designed with Studio Spacebrand.
