Investment Approved to Strengthen the Future of The Wesley Hotel in Euston
18 February 2026
The Methodist Church has approved a £1.2 million investment package to support new development work at The Wesley Hotel in Euston, marking a major investment in securing the long-term sustainability and mission-driven impact of the Wesley hospitality enterprise.
The money, drawn from the MIC Trust (which is made up of the profits from the hotel) will enable Methodist International Centre Limited (MICL) to undertake essential upgrades across the Euston site.
This investment, along with other investment by the company, gives The Wesley the opportunity to implement a rolling programme of refurbishment over the next few years, including bedroom upgrades, improvements to communal areas and enhancements to the building’s external facade.
This work will strengthen the hotel’s net zero aspirations as well as improving guest experience and ensuring the property continues to generate strong financial returns for the Church’s wider mission.
“The investment allows us to take the next step in The Wesley’s evolution. Over the coming years, we’ll deliver a carefully phased refurbishment programme that enhances our bedrooms and shared spaces while strengthening our environmental commitments. It’s about investing in the hotel's long-term future, ensuring we continue to offer a distinctive, values-led stay in one of London’s most dynamic locations.”
James Barr, General Manager at The WesleyAt a meeting last week, the trustee body of the Methodist Church, the Connexional Council, heard that clearer governance structures and renewed investment is needed after a decade in which capital improvements were limited. The Wesley hotel in Camden and its sister-site in Euston play a vital role in generating income that supports Methodist work across the Connexion.
“The investment underlines the Methodist Church’s mission and the Wesley Hotels in Euston and Camden Town provide a distinctive model of ethical hospitality, generating profits that directly support the Church’s work. By approving this investment, the Council is reaffirming its commitment to safeguarding these assets and enabling MICL to operate from a position of strength. The improvements at Euston will complement the wider investment strategy for the Wesley portfolio, ensuring that both hotels remain competitive in London’s hospitality market while continuing to embody the Church’s values, including ethical employment practices and environmental responsibility.”
The Revd Sonia Hicks, Chair of the Connexional CouncilThe approved funding will allow work to begin on the Euston site in the coming period, with MICL and the Council working closely together to ensure the project strengthens both the hotel’s commercial performance and its contribution to the Church’s mission. In line with the Action for Hope strategy, this will enable investment in decarbonisation and sustainability measures at the Wesley Hotel in Euston.
