Hotel Verta, von Essen Hotel’s newly-built property near London Heliport, SW11, has been placed into administration.
Ernst & Young has been appointed to run the 70-bedroom hotel, which will continue to trade as normal. Administrators are now seeking new owners for the business.
Hotel Verta is understood to be one of four properties which did not form part of the administration of von Essen Hotels in April. It continued to be owned by von Essen Hotels founder Andrew Davis, alongside the Forbury in Reading, Llangoed Hall in Powys and Hunstrete House, near Bath.
Hunstrete House, which was operated under licence by Von Essen, was placed into creditors voluntary liquidation, in May, and closed.
Christie + Co is advising Ernst & Young on the sale of 27 von Essen Hotels country house hotels. First round bids expired last month.
