OUR VISION

5000 keys open by 2030

Development

Lamington Group is a real estate investment, development and operational business with 5 brands, 10 hotels in the pipeline and a vision to open 5000 keys by 2030. Our in-house development arm identifies and develops unique sites across the residential and commercial sectors, that not only provide long-term sustainable returns but also add value to the communities in which they occupy.

Why Lamington Group?

At Lamington Group, home is more than a place – it’s a feeling of comfort, connection, and belonging. As a family-run business with over 50 years of experience, we create spaces that make our guests feel at home.

As pioneers in sustainable hospitality, we have set an industry-first target of achieving net zero carbon across the future development and operation of our properties, ensuring every stay supports a more sustainable future.

Our Presence

Planet First

We are helping solve a global problem.

The building sector is the largest emitter, responsible for 40% of global emissions, with materials like cement and steel leaving a major carbon footprint.

We can’t continue this way.

As part of our One Planet Living strategy, we have committed to designing whole-life carbon net zero spaces that are circular in design and biodiversity net-positive. By embracing innovation and collaboration, we’re future-proofing our business while protecting the planet for future generations.
