RCP Finance has arranged a new senior debt facility for L’oscar London, the five-star boutique hotel in Holborn known for its theatrical design and restored heritage architecture.
The facility, provided by Alpha Property Lending and led by Benjamin Philips, supports the refinancing of the property.
RCP said the deal highlights continued resilience in London’s luxury hospitality market, where demand for distinctive, experience-led hotels remains strong.
L’oscar London is owned by Aevis Victoria and managed by Michel Reybier Hospitality. The hotel occupies a Grade II listed former Baptist church and is recognised for interiors designed by Jacques Garcia, along with 39 individually curated rooms and suites.
Since opening in 2018, the property has established a strong position between the West End and the City, supported by transport connectivity including the Elizabeth Line at Farringdon and a mix of leisure, cultural, legal and financial demand drivers.
Tom Waycott, principal at RCP Finance, said: “We are thrilled to complete this loan on a landmark London asset, our second luxury hotel financing in the city this year.
“Our close partnership with Aevis and Wineus AG, and with Ben and his team at Alpha, enabled us to execute the transaction efficiently in just 10 weeks.
“This marks another strong milestone in our growing track record within the luxury and lifestyle hotel sector, where we continue to specialise globally.”
Benjamin Philips at Alpha Property Lending said: “Alpha Property Lending is pleased to support SHP in this strategic transaction.
“We value the collaboration with RCP Finance on the financing, which underscores our commitment to delivering tailored solutions.
“This facility reflects Alpha Property Lending’s flexibility and expertise in assessing and structuring transactions backed by strong real estate fundamentals and our ability to understand operational business.”
The transaction was completed with legal counsel from Fieldfisher LLP for the lender and Withers Worldwide for the sponsor.
