Gateway cities

  • London

    With a portfolio of seven hotels and approximately 3,200 rooms in operation, and another 1,100 rooms at various stages of development, the UK’s capital is the Group’s most important single market. From London’s highly popular Southbank to urban chic Marylebone; from hipster Hoxton to the well-connected Victoria and Park Royal areas, our hotels are located in highly desirable and easily accessible locations.

  • Amsterdam

    Our portfolio in the Dutch capital is strong with three hotels in the city centre and one hotel located near Amsterdam Airport. Our portfolio includes Park Plaza Victoria Amsterdam, which is located opposite the main train station and is arguably one of the best-known hotels in The Netherlands due to its rich history, and its bold, colourful and artistic neighbour, the award winning art’otel Amsterdam.

  • Berlin

    We have four hotels in the buzzing German capital, including two properties in the former East Berlin (Mitte), close to Brandenburg Gate, Tiergarten, Museum Island and cafés and shops. Our other two hotels are located in the west of the city near the famous Kurfürstendamm, which is often considered the Champs-Elysées of Berlin and is lined with shops and restaurants.

  • Budapest

    One of Eastern Europe’s first design hotels when it first opened, our art’otel Budapest is located on the banks of the Danube providing stunning views and easy access to the city’s main attractions. The building combines several historic former fisherman’s houses with a new frontage. During 2022 the hotel will undergo an extensive renovation programme, aligning its offering with the new generation art’otels.

  • Pula

    Pula, home to Istria’s main international airport, serves each year as the starting point for many holidaymakers. Pula is a popular leisure destination and is not only steeped in Roman history, it provides easy access to historic sites, pristine nature and an appealing coastline. Our portfolio in and around Pula includes 21 properties, from campsites to luxury glamping and from self-catering apartments to premium full-service resorts.

  • Zagreb

    With our strong presence in and around Pula, we were keen to secure a property in the Croatian capital and further build our property portfolio in key capital cities in the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region, adding to our hotels in Belgrade and Budapest. We are currently converting a former office building in the heart of Zagreb into the country’s first art’otel.

  • Rome

    We are thrilled to be entering Italy, with our acquisition in 2021 of the historic Londra & Cargill hotel in the centre of Rome. Located near Via Veneto and within walking distance of some of Rome's main attractions, this hotel will be completely transformed and will become the first art'otel in Italy.
