Grand Metropolitan Hotels Acquires Signature Hotels Brand

Expanding its global portfolio, Grand Metropolitan Hotels (GMH) has announced the acquisition of Signature Hotels, strengthening its presence across the UK, Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, and India.

Signature Hotels, known for its boutique and upper-midscale properties in London, currently operates several locations with two additional openings planned next year and two more under development in India.

GMH plans to integrate Signature’s operational and management teams into its existing structure to ensure a seamless transition while maintaining the brand’s commitment to exceptional service. Signature Hotels will remain part of the GMH portfolio and be developed further as a boutique lifestyle brand within GMH’s expanding ecosystem of independent hotel labels.

“Signature Hotels offers a powerful combination of local credibility and international ambition,” said Martin R. Smura, Founder and Chairman of GMH. “London remains one of the most competitive hospitality markets in the world, and Signature’s strong presence there, coupled with its connections to India, provides GMH with an immediate platform for growth.”

Ramesh Arora, CEO of Signature Hotels Group, will join GMH’s Supervisory Board. With more than four decades of international hospitality experience across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, Arora has earned numerous honors, including Hotelier of the Year by PATA and the Lifetime Contribution to Hotels and Tourism award by Stardust.

“This partnership brings together two family-owned companies with shared values and a belief in hospitality as a force for good,” Arora said. “By joining GMH, we’re strengthening our ability to grow internationally while staying true to our mission of delivering authentic, locally inspired experiences.”
