Who owns The Berkeley hotel?
The Berkeley is owned by Maybourne Hotel Group, alongside Claridge's and The Connaught, under majority ownership by Qatar Investment Authority (QIA). The Berkeley occupies a purpose-built 1972 structure on Wilton Place — a different architectural DNA from its Maybourne siblings — but shares the same ownership horizon and operational group infrastructure.
Of the three Maybourne properties, The Berkeley has the most contemporary identity. QIA's ownership has not pushed it toward the conservatism of The Connaught or the cultural weight of Claridge's — it has been allowed to develop its own aesthetic positioning, anchored by the rooftop pool and The Blue Bar. For principals, this means the Maybourne guarantee of ownership stability combined with a more fashion-forward operational register than the group's other London assets.
