Schroders Capital has announced the acquisition of the luxury property in Ibiza. The move constitutes the independent investment management firm’s 4th acquisition over the past 12 months in the European luxury-lifestyle hotel sector. Its European portfolio now stands at 55 hotels.
The Standard Hotel in Ibiza is a recently constructed 67-key hotel. It stands in the island’s Old Town and offers views of the town as well as the marina. Jara, the hotel’s restaurant, is a popular local eatery. Its offer also includes a rooftop swimming pool.
Schroders Capital has €84 billion worth of assets under management, as of 30th June 2022. Its range of investment strategies includes real estate, private equity, secondaries, venture capital, infrastructure, securitised products and asset-based finance, private debt, insurance-linked securities, and BlueOrchard (Impact Specialists).
We were attracted by the combination of a newly-built property in an excellent location with the power of The Standard brand behind it. The team at The Standard is perfectly positioned to capture the mood of the Ibiza market and the market excitement about their most recent opening in Ibiza is well deserved. Schroders Capital currently manages 55 hotels across Europe with a significant exposure to the luxury lifestyle end of the market. This depth of experience in operating real estate makes Schroders Capital a preferred buyer for sellers of such assets and in this instance allowed the transaction to complete within four weeks.
