PPHE refinances on London's Park Plaza hotel

(Sharecast News) - Hotel property developer PPHE has entered into an agreement to refinance the Park Plaza in London's Victoria district. The new £88m facility has been arranged by Santander UK and ABN AMRO as part of an ongoing programme for the long-term refinancing of some of the Group's assets following the successful refinancing of Park Plaza London Riverbank in November.

This new five-year facility will replace the existing facility with Barings, which matures in Q1 2026. It will bear a floating interest rate, of which 90% is hedged at an all-in rate of 3.9%. This compares with an all-in fixed rate of 3.42% that applied under the existing facility.

The new facility agreement is subject to certain conditions precedent being fulfilled, and funding is expected to take place on 18 December 2025.
