Asian hotelier Dorsett Hotels is set to ramp up its UK presence by ploughing £700m into opening new sites in London and Manchester.
Chief executive Winnie Chiu said her company had only recently opened two hotels in London’s Aldgate and Shepherd’s Bush but had plans build five or six more across the two cities in the next few years.
Dorsett Hotels is owned by Far East Consortium, one of Asia’s largest developers and hotel operators which was founded in 1972 by renowned Hong Kong entrepreneur Deacon Chiu, the late grandfather of Ms Chiu.
