About Na'ím Anís Paymán

Na'ím Anís Paymán is a dynamic entrepreneur and the founder of Paymán Investments, a leading provider of serviced accommodation across the United Kingdom. His journey into the hospitality industry began after completing his studies in Natural Sciences at Cambridge University.

Lovelady Shield Hotel and Cottages - Best of Georgian Country House Hotels

One of Na'ím's notable projects is the restoration of Lovelady Shield Hotel and Cottages. This Georgian gem, nestled on the banks of the River Nent in the heart of the North Pennines, has been lovingly refurbished to its former glory. Na'im was captivated by the property's historical charm and the serene beauty of the surrounding area, prompting a significant investment to bring the hotel back to life after being closed for four years. His dedication to preserving the heritage and enhancing the guest experience is evident in every detail of the renovation.

Breathing Life into Cultural Heritage

At the heart of Paymán Investments’s values is the revival of historical and cultural sites. Lovelady Shield Hotel, situated on the road between Alston and Nenthead, exemplifies this mission. The Georgian country house property, along with its associated self-catering cottages, had closed its doors in 2019, awaiting a custodian to resurrect its former glory. With no buyers on the horizon, it was Na'ím Anís Paymán’s insightful acquisition and a substantial investment of around half a million in initial refurbishments that breathed new life into this heritage site. The endeavour was not merely a commercial pursuit but a mission to restore the charm of the Georgian property while infusing modern and comfortable facilities​​.

Lovelady Shield Hotel and Cottages is known for its responsive 24/7 customer support and a dedicated team that ensures every guest's needs are met. Na'ím's commitment to excellence extends to the wellbeing of his employees, fostering a culture of continuous learning and development.

Ethical and Sustainable Practices

Beyond business, Na'ím is dedicated to ethical and sustainable hospitality. Lovelady Shield Hotel operates as an alcohol-free establishment to promote a healthy and responsible lifestyle. This decision underscores Na'ím's broader commitment to societal well-being and community engagement​​.

Community Engagement

The local community holds a significant place in the operational blueprint of Lovelady Shield Hotel. Engaging with the community, understanding their needs, and contributing to local development are considered paramount. The hotel, under Naim's stewardship, envisions becoming a catalyst for local growth, both socially and economically.

Future Trajectory

Looking ahead, Lovelady Shield Hotel is on a promising trajectory. The endeavour to restore and repurpose historical and cultural buildings resonates with a broader vision of fostering social and cultural hubs. Under the strategic vision of Na'im Paymán, the hotel heralds a chapter of rejuvenation and excellence in hospitality.
