With c. 1 billion in revenues, B&B HOTELS is the largest independent lease-based European operator in the Value-for-Money segment with 700 hotels and 65k rooms. Key markets are France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK, but any other European country is also interesting

With 63 hotel takeovers in 2022, B&B HOTELS is by far the most acquisitive hotel operator in Europe. Credit market issues, lack of renovation and refinancing constraints could bring opportunities through lender-led disposals of independent operators in the next 2 years.

• Buying Hotel Businesses with or without Real Estate.
• Sign new leases when the existing lease has expired.
• Sign new leases when a landlord wants to upgrade its operator or when B&B HOTELS has to pay for FF&E/Capex renovation.
• B&B HOTELS engineers can manage to convert various buildings into hotels on behalf of landlords.
• Room size >25m² GFA/room to convert a building into a hotel.
• B&B HOTELS is fully flexible and can execute asset deals or share deals swiftly.
