New York City-based Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. Partners, most often referred to as KKR & Co., has sold several of its United Kingdom hotels branded Delta by Marriott and has plans to sell more.
On Feb. 2, it sold the 106-room Delta Hotels by Marriott Birmingham to an undisclosed investor. At the beginning of December, KKR sold the 382-room Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor to London-based GCH Slough Hotels. Prices are undisclosed for both.
Both hotels were part of a 33-hotel portfolio of Marriott-branded hotels that KKR and its joint-venture partner Baupost Group International acquired in Nov. 2024 from Abu Dhabi Investment Authority for £869.2 million ($1.03 billion).
KKR is also offering two other Delta-branded hotels from that portfolio for sale, according to broker and business advisory Christie & Co.: The 150-room Delta Hotels by Marriott Newcastle Gateshead and 149-room Delta Hotels by Marriott Preston in Preston, Lancashire. Both hotels have operated under franchise agreements since May 2025.
All four of these Delta hotels come from the same portfolio, which has changed hands several times in the last two decades.
The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority owned both hotels between Feb. 2013 and Nov. 2024.
All the properties in that deal were branded under Marriott’s flagship brand or Delta by Marriott brands.
Before that, bank RBS sold the assets after seizing them in June 2011 from Delek Global Real Estate, Quinlan Private and Israeli investor Igal Ahouvi, which had paid £1.2 billion ($1.4 billion) for the portfolio in 2007.
KKR & Co. were approached for comment, but as at press time, no answer had been returned.
