Dalata Hotel Group Plc has announced the opening of its fifth London hotel, the Maldron Hotel Shoreditch, which brings 45 new jobs to the area.

This 157-guestroom hotel marks Dalata’s 23rd property in the UK, following recent openings in Brighton, Liverpool, and Manchester’s Cathedral Quarter. It is the second Maldron hotel in London, following the Finsbury Park location that opened last November.

These five new hotels have collectively created 217 jobs and added 1,029 guestrooms to the Maldron Hotels UK portfolio, which now boasts a total of 4,535 guestrooms across 26 hotels. Dalata also operates three additional hotels in London under its Clayton Hotels brand: Clayton Hotel City of London, Clayton Hotel Chiswick, and Clayton Hotel London Wall.

The Maldron Hotel Shoreditch features the Group’s popular Grain & Grill bar and restaurant, offering a carefully curated selection of favourite dishes, and a Red Bean Roastery coffee dock serving quality barista-prepared coffee. The hotel has achieved a BREEAM Excellent rating, placing it in the top 10% of new non-domestic buildings in the UK for environmental performance.

James Feeney, General Manager of Maldron Hotel Shoreditch, expressed pride in opening a new hotel in one of London’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. “Unforgettable experiences start at Maldron Hotels, and we are confident our guests will love our location,” he said.

Dalata Hotel Group CEO, Dermot Crowley, added: “We are excited to open Maldron Hotel Shoreditch, our fifth Dalata hotel in the city. Our expansion in London is on track with our strategy, and the city will remain a key location for us, given the significant opportunities the market presents. With the opening of Maldron Hotel Shoreditch, Dalata now has 5,080 guestrooms in its UK portfolio. Our ambition is to grow this to 9,500 rooms over time.”
