Shiva Hotels

Shiva Hotels is a privately owned United Kingdom based hotel group founded in 2003[1] by former Lehman Brothers derivatives trader Rishi Sachdev.[2]

History

In 2013 the company purchased the Millennium Bridge House hotel from American private equity firm The Carlyle Group, for £87.6m.[3]

In 2014 the company purchased the Kingsway Hall Hotel for £96m.[4]

In February 2015 it was reported that the group had placed two Ramada hotels it owned up for sale for £22m free of any brand tie.[5]

In October 2015 it was reported that the group was developing four unbranded luxury hotels in central London.[2]

In 2016 it acquired the site of the Welbeck Street Car Park for redevelopment as a hotel[6] after Historic England decided not to register the structure as a listed building.[7][8]

gollark: Self-driving cars should probably not be using the mobile/cell network just for communicating with nearby cars, since it adds extra latency and complexity over some direct P2P thing, and they can't really do things which rely on constant high-bandwidth networking to the internet generally, since they need to be able to not crash if they go into a tunnel or network dead zone or something.
gollark: My problem isn't *that* (5G apparently has improvements for more normal frequencies anyway), but that higher bandwidth and lower latency just... isn't that useful and worth the large amount of money for most phone users.
gollark: Personally I think 5G is pointless and overhyped, but eh.
gollark: It's a house using some sort of sci-fi-looking engines to take off, superimposed on the text "5G", with "London," and "is in the house." above and below it respectively.
gollark: Well, computer viruses can.
