The Sehgal family, through Rivalminster Ltd, has completed the acquisition of Crowne Plaza London Ealing, further strengthening its long-standing presence in the London hospitality market.
The 139-bedroom InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) franchised hotel is located on the Hanger Lane Gyratory in Ealing, and features a 120-cover restaurant and bar, gym, and extensive meeting and conference facilities, serving both corporate and leisure demand. The property benefits from strong visibility and excellent transport connectivity, sitting adjacent to Hanger Lane Underground station, with swift access to central London and close proximity to Wembley Stadium and key West London commercial hubs.
The acquisition marks the latest chapter for Rivalminster Ltd, a third-generation, family-run hospitality business with a long-standing track record of owning and operating hotel assets in London. The company was founded by Hira Sehgal, who remains involved in key strategic decisions. The business is led today by directors Paul Sehgal and Saachi Sehgal, with Sienna Sehgal also playing a significant role.
The family has previously owned the Holiday Inn London Oxford Circus for nearly 40 years, and currently owns The Leonard Hotel, London, which has been under Rivalminster ownership for 22-years, and currently undergoing a phased refurbishment programme. The acquisition of Crowne Plaza London Ealing was led by Saachi Sehgal, who previously worked at real estate investment bank Eastdil Secured.
The transaction represents a full-circle moment for the business, with the hotel acquired from Westmont Hospitality, which had previously purchased the Holiday Inn London Oxford Circus from Rivalminster.
Looking ahead, Rivalminster plans to invest in the property, with a focus on modernisation, operational improvements, and strengthening the hotel’s positioning within the West London market, while continuing the IHG franchise.
Commenting on the acquisition, Saachi Sehgal, Director at Rivalminster Ltd, said:
“Crowne Plaza Ealing is excellently located close to major transport links and local developments, benefitting from high visibility on the busy Hanger Lane roundabout. We plan to enhance the offering through operational improvements and modernisation in order to strengthen its position in the West London market. Crowne Plaza is a well-established brand and we are extremely pleased to be partnering with IHG again.”
The acquisition underlines Rivalminster’s continued confidence in well-located London hotel assets and marks a further step in its long-standing relationship with IHG Hotels & Resorts.
