LΟΝDΟΝ, UK – Elegant Hotel Collection, the pioneering community of authentically independent luxury hotels, has announced the addition of four new properties to its growing global portfolio: Chateau Denmark in central London, The Ebrington in Derry-Londonderry, Bingham Riverhouse in Richmond, Surrey, and The Shepherd Mayfair, an elegant new opening set to launch in London’s Mayfair late 2025.

For travel advisors, these distinctive independent properties offer curated options for discerning clients who are increasingly seeking authenticity, individuality, and a deeper connection to people and place. Elegant Hotel Collection’s expansion comes as global travel trends continue to shift in favour of more meaningful, experience-led journeys.

“At Elegant Hotel Collection, we’re building a global community of hoteliers who are reimagining what luxury means in the 21st century,” said Catt McLeod, Vice President, Elegant Hotel Collection. “Whether it’s a design-led London retreat, a heritage restoration in Northern Ireland, or a poetic riverside hideaway in Richmond, each of our hotels offer the inimitable experiences that today’s travellers are actively seeking.”
