Pantechnicon (London) Limited’s creditor schedule shows debts of more than £9m, with the company’s restaurants and bars having closed in July ostensibly for refurbishment.
The complex is home to Japanese restaurant Sachi, Provençal restaurant Amélie and late-night lounge Luum.
Companies House records confirm that Jack Callow and Anthony Davidson of Opus Restructuring have been appointed joint liquidators.
The creditor schedule includes numerous food, wine and hospitality suppliers, as well as Westminster City Council, HMRC, SevenRooms and several Sunset Hospitality-related companies. Around 40 employees are also listed as creditors.
Companies House identifies Jersey-registered Sunset Investments International Limited as the company’s person with significant control, owning at least 75% of its shares and voting rights.
It is the second time the venture has closed unexpectedly for what was described as refurbishment work.
Originally launched as Pantechnicon in 2020, the venue closed the following year.
The company behind the site was subsequently acquired by Antonio Gonzalez-led Sunset Hospitality Group in 2023.
The Dubai-based group relaunched the building as 19 Motcomb Street in 2024.
Sunset Hospitality Group is one of the Middle East’s largest lifestyle hospitality operators. According to its website, it operates more than 110 venues across 27 countries.
Sunset Hospitality Group has been contacted for comment.
