London’s Qbic hotel put up for sale

The lease of the 183-bedroom Qbic London City hotel has been put up for sale, available free and clear of the Qbic branding.

The hotel opened in 2013, following the success of the original Qbic Hotel in Amsterdam, and has undergone investment and improvement across its bedroom range since. The ‘green’ hotel features the Motley bar and restaurant, a range of meeting rooms and co-working spaces, and a car park with electric vehicle chargers. The group is set to open a property in Manchester on 12 April.

Andrew Evangelou, director and head of London hotels in Christie & Co’s hospitality team, is handling the sale of the London hotel. He said: “The sale of the Qbic London City presents a unique opportunity to acquire a pioneering eco-friendly hotel close to the City of London and within walking distance of some of London’s trendiest bars, restaurants and clubs. We are certain this vibrant hotel will generate high levels of interest from both domestic and overseas buyers, given the demand we have seen for hotel assets to date this year.”
