By Angela Green, Content Executive, H&C News: Cycas takes over management of Bankside Hotel.
Cycas Hospitality has signed a hotel management agreement to take over management of the design-led Bankside Hotel, part of Marriott International’s Autograph Collection. The hotel was acquired by Vertiq Capital, an investor in the hospitality sector across Europe.
Located on London’s South Bank, the 161-room is nearby to Waterloo, Blackfriars and London Bridge stations. With seven suites, the well-connected property has proved popular since opening in 2018.
Cycas has appointed Zac Pearse as General Manager. Zac joins from Malmaison London, where he had spent nine years, and previously managed hotels with the deVere Group and Guoman and Thistle hotels.
Matt Luscombe, Chief Executive Officer at Cycas Hospitality, said: “We’re proud to have added our first luxury property – the intimate Bankside Hotel – to our fast-growing portfolio, and very excited to be working with Marriott International on one of their most prestigious London hotels.
“The Bankside Hotel’s ethos of being a social hub with a passion for their community strongly mirrors Cycas’s people-focused values, and we look forward to bringing Cycas’s trademark superior service and outstanding guest experience to this culturally-vibrant part of London.”
