TY Danjuma Lists London Hotel for Nearly £3 Million

TY Danjuma, an 88-year-old billionaire and former military chief, has placed his London luxury hotel, the Kings Arms Hotel, on the market for nearly £3 million. Acquired in 2019 for approximately £2.4 million, the hotel struggled financially, recording a £526,000 loss on revenue of £575,000 in its final year, following a £559,000 loss the previous year.

The hotel, located in the affluent Hampton Court area of South West London, ceased trading on May 31, 2025, due to ongoing financial difficulties attributed to rising costs and softer demand in the hospitality sector. The decision to close the hotel was part of a broader strategy by the TY Danjuma Family Office to stabilize its UK holdings, which have faced liquidity pressures from higher interest rates and inflation.

The family office, managed by Danjuma's daughter Hannatu Gentles, oversees a diverse portfolio, including properties and financial investments, but the hotel represented a small fraction of Danjuma's overall wealth.
