PHOENIX HOTELS LIMITED
Company number 01805904 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Phoenix Hotels Limited operates as a single-asset, family-owned London hotel business with a conservative balance sheet characterised by £31.1M in net assets against just £6.15M in liabilities—a gearing ratio of approximately 20% that is well below the sector norm of 60-80%. However, this asset-rich profile masks modest operational returns of approximately 2.4% on net assets, suggesting the property may be trading below its potential relative to its £37.5M valuation. The company has demonstrated resilience through the post-pandemic recovery with steady profitability and covenant compliance, but declining cash reserves and the inherent vulnerabilities of single-property operation without brand scale present ongoing competitive challenges in an increasingly consolidated London hotel market.
