A Hong Kong multimillionaire has bought a penthouse at the Corinthia Hotel London for £10.75 million (US$13.4 million) in a deal that was sealed in 72 hours, according to property agent Aston Chase on Thursday.
The identity of the buyer remains unknown. Aston Chase said in a press release that the buyer and his wife were regular visitors to London and the Corinthia Hotel London was their favourite hotel in the British capital.
The purchase was the biggest deal in Whitehall, where the hotel is located, in the last five years.
The four-bedroom penthouse covers 3,703 square feet, with the price working out to just under £3,000 per square foot.
“Benefiting from a generous budget, the couple wanted to purchase ‘an exceptional’ London pied-à-terre, ideally a property with immaculately presented new interiors, yet also offering history and character,” the statement said.
