Katara Hospitality is in talks to buy “iconic” hotels in London and Rome as the unit of Qatar’s sovereign-wealth fund seeks to more than double its properties by 2030, said Chief Operating Officer Christopher R.J. Knable.
Katara, which bought Le Royal Monceau in Paris in 2012, will open the 16th-century Peninsula Paris this year after renovations are complete, Knable said in an interview in Dubai. He wouldn’t be more specific about the hotels the company may buy.
