Seven Tides, Owner of London's Dukes Hotel, Goes Independent
Plans are to Expand Brand Across Europe, U.S. and the Middle East
LONDON, UK - November 9, 2010 - Seven Tides, owners of the five-star Dukes Hotel, one of London's leading boutique hotels, today announces that after enjoying notable success with Dukes over the past four years in association with CampbellGray Hotels, the company is now looking to grow the Dukes Hotel brand across Europe, the U.S. and the Middle East under the Seven Tides Hotel Management Division.
As a result, the association between CampbellGray Hotels and Seven Tides is to be mutually ended effective December 31, 2010.
Dukes, established for over 100 years in the heart of St. James, in Mayfair, London, will continue to be managed by General Manager Debrah Dhugga and her team, and will now launch future expansion developments under the guidance of Seven Tides Hotel Management Division.
“We are delighted to have this opportunity to share our brand with the rest of the world,” said Dhugga. “We would like to assure our guests that they can anticipate the same high-quality hotel experience they have come to expect from Dukes, and that no internal management changes are planned.”
The award-winning Dukes has seen growing success as one of London's finest hotels following its renovation in 2007 and is perhaps most famous for its internationally acclaimed Dukes Bar and its signature martinis.
