Leading global law firm Baker McKenzie has advised Sunset Hospitality Group ("SHG"), a leading multinational lifestyle hospitality group with an extensive portfolio of hospitality, entertainment and F&B destinations, on a further financing round with Goldman Sachs. The funding will support SHG's ambitious global expansion plans and further enhance its exceptional hospitality offerings for clients.
This strategic move, combined with SHG's robust commercial, technical and operational capabilities, will further strengthen SHG’s position as a leading global hospitality group. It will also support the UAE-headquartered company in its goal to open new hotels and manage 20 hotel properties by 2026.
Adnan Doha, M&A partner at Baker McKenzie in the UAE, commented: “It was a pleasure working alongside SHG once again. The additional investment will enable the group to scale its operations and continue to offer world-class service to its guests around the world. We look forward to continuing our successful partnership with them."
