The Scenario
The Rosemay Boutique Hotel, formerly known as the Fountain House in Hayes, London, is a 28-bed hotel with historical ties to the author George Orwell. In 2022, the owners initiated a redevelopment project to modernise the hotel while preserving its literary heritage, receiving planning approval for renovations. Partnering with Inflow Finance, they crafted a funding strategy to enhance the hotel’s offerings, including the addition of a 50-seater coffee house, four new bedrooms, and an outdoor garden. Renovations began in June 2023, culminating in the hotel’s opening in January 2025. The Rosemay aims to provide luxurious accommodations that celebrate literature and community, enhancing the local culture and tourism.
