- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have assessed the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern in light of the prevailing market conditions, with particular focus on the London hotel sector. Industry data indicates that while the hospitality sector in London has shown signs of continued recovery, which is driven by increased international and domestic travel, there are certain risk factors which persist, such as inflationary pressures, fluctuations in consumer confidence, and evolving travel trends. The Group continues to fund its day-to-day operations through its existing bank facilities.”

Significant events
- “On 29 July 2025, an amendment was made to the £200 million loan agreement between Deutsche Bank Luxembourg SA and International Hoteliers (UK) Limited. The initial termination date of 31 July 2025 was extended to 31 July 2026, whereby International Hoteliers (UK) Limited will then have a further option to extend to 31 July 2027.”
- “As part of an internal reorganisation of the wider Group within which the Company sits, the directors intend to remove Primeairo Limited, the direct shareholder of the Company, from the register within the foreseeable future from the date of signing these financial statements. It is the intention of the directors to transfer the entire shareholding of the Company to Constellation Hotels Holding S.C.A., a Luxembourg-incorporated entity and a related party of the Company.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
