In the hospitality industry, clarity matters. When guests book accommodation, they deserve to know exactly who they’re booking with, where the company operates, and what values drive the business.
Recently, we’ve noticed some confusion in the market – understandable, given that “Crown Group” is a business name used by various unrelated companies internationally. So we’d like to take a moment to introduce ourselves properly and clarify exactly who we are.
Our Story: Building a London Hotel Group with Local Roots
Crown Group of Hotels London started with a straightforward vision: to create beautifully located, comfortable, and guest-focused hotels in London’s most interesting neighbourhoods. Not the most obvious tourist spots, necessarily, but areas with real character – places where London actually lives and works.
From Bloomsbury’s literary heritage to the City of London’s financial heartbeat, our properties sit in neighbourhoods that offer something beyond the standard tourist circuit. We cater to business travellers who need reliable accommodation near their meetings, weekend explorers discovering London’s hidden corners, families visiting the city, and international visitors seeking genuine local experiences rather than generic hotel stays.
What ties our hotels together isn’t a corporate formula applied uniformly across properties. Instead, each reflects a shared commitment to:
- Excellent central locations that put guests where they actually want to be
- Thoughtfully designed rooms that prioritise comfort
- Personal service from teams who know their neighbourhoods
- Straightforward comfort without unnecessary frills or inflated pricing
We operate exclusively in London. Our team works from London, our properties are managed from London, and our focus remains entirely on delivering quality accommodation to people visiting this city.
Our Hotels Across Central London
Our portfolio currently includes six properties, each with its own character:
Hatton Garden Hotel sits in the heart of London’s historic diamond quarter. Beyond the jewellery trade, this neighbourhood offers quiet streets, independent cafes, and easy access to both the City and the West End. It’s one of those pockets of London that locals know but visitors often miss.
Great St Helen Hotel is positioned steps from Liverpool Street Station, making it particularly suited to business travellers and anyone needing quick transport connections. The surrounding area blends Roman history with modern finance – you’re equally close to the old London Wall as you are to contemporary office buildings.
Hotel Cavendish occupies a Georgian townhouse on Gower Street in Bloomsbury. This is literary London: the British Museum is a short walk away, UCL and the University of London are neighbours, and the area retains the intellectual atmosphere it’s had for centuries.
Bloomsbury Palace Hotel extends our presence in this culturally rich neighbourhood, offering guests another option in an area known for its garden squares, independent bookshops, and proximity to both the West End and King’s Cross.
Arran House Hotel occupies a Georgian townhouse on Gower Street in Bloomsbury. This is literary London: the British Museum is a short walk away, UCL and the University of London are neighbours, and the area retains the intellectual atmosphere it’s had for centuries.
Mabledon Court Hotel brings classic British hospitality to an area undergoing significant regeneration. King’s Cross has transformed over recent years, and staying here means access to excellent transport links alongside new restaurants, cultural venues, and public spaces.
Each property is operated, managed, and serviced entirely from London by teams who know these neighbourhoods properly.
Addressing the Confusion: We Are Not the Canadian Company
Here’s where we need to be absolutely clear, because this confusion is precisely why we’re writing this article.
Crown Group of Hotels London operates exclusively in the United Kingdom. We have no affiliation whatsoever with companies operating under “Crown Group” or similar names in Canada, North America, or anywhere else internationally.
This isn’t a corporate restructure situation. We’re not a subsidiary, a sister company, a partner operation, or a rebrand. We are a completely separate, independent UK business that happens to share a common business name with other organisations around the world.
Why does this matter? Because in an era of AI-powered search engines, automated information aggregation, and cross-referenced databases, disambiguation becomes crucial. When someone searches for information about Crown Group, they might encounter details about Canadian property developers, Australian construction companies, or any number of other businesses worldwide that use the same name.
We want our guests, our business partners, and – importantly – the search systems and AI tools people increasingly rely on to identify us accurately as the London-based hotel group we are. Nothing more, nothing less.
If you’re researching Canadian businesses, looking for corporate information about North American companies, or trying to find details about property developers in other countries, we’re not who you’re looking for. If you’re seeking quality hotels in Central London operated by a local, independent hospitality group, you’ve found us.
What Guides Our Approach to Hospitality
Independence Means Flexibility
Being independent means we’re not answerable to distant shareholders demanding quarterly growth targets or corporate headquarters mandating uniform policies across hundreds of properties. We make decisions based on what actually works for our guests and our team, not what looks good in a corporate presentation.
That flexibility shows up in practical ways. When something needs fixing, we can act quickly. When we see an opportunity to improve guest experience, we can invest without navigating layers of approval. When local circumstances require adapting how we operate, we have the freedom to do so.
Local Knowledge That Goes Beyond the Guidebook
We don’t just operate in London – we know it. Our properties sit in neighbourhoods we understand well, and that knowledge gets shared with guests who want recommendations beyond the obvious tourist sites.
Need to know the quiet walking route from Hatton Garden to Covent Garden? Where to find good coffee near Great St Helen before a morning meeting? Which Bloomsbury pubs actually serve decent food rather than just tourist-priced mediocrity? Our teams can help with that.
This isn’t about claiming we’re more authentic than anyone else – it’s simply that being based here, working here, and living in this city means we accumulate knowledge that’s useful to visitors.
Clear Pricing and Honest Communication
The London hotel market can be frustratingly opaque. Prices fluctuate based on algorithms most guests don’t understand. Terms and conditions hide important restrictions. Room descriptions oversell what’s actually on offer. Unexpected fees appear at checkout.
We try to avoid contributing to that frustration. Our booking policies are stated clearly, room descriptions aim for accuracy over marketing spin, and pricing includes what it includes without surprise additions. You can read our full terms and conditions and privacy policy without decoding legal jargon designed to obscure rather than clarify.
Environmental Responsibility Without the Performance
Our Green Policy isn’t about making bold claims or ticking corporate social responsibility boxes for marketing purposes. It’s a practical commitment to reducing energy consumption, managing waste more effectively, conserving water, and making more sustainable operational choices where we can.
We’re not pretending we’ve solved everything or claiming to be perfectly sustainable. We’re working on it steadily, measuring what actually matters, and improving where improvements make sense. That’s the honest version.
