PPHE Hotel Group Ltd on Wednesday said it expects to report revenue growth for 2025 with UK and Croatian hotels performing well amid subdued trade in the Netherlands and Germany. The Guernsey-registered operator of Park Plaza and art’otel hotels reported a ‘solid’ finish to 2025 and said full-year revenue and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation are expected to meet market expectations, while its strategic review remains ongoing. The hospitality real estate group said room revenue for the three months to December 31 rose 4.9%, with revenue per available room up 5.0%, driven by a 7.8% increase in average room rate and favourable currency movements. For the full year, reported room revenue is expected to reach £330.4 million, up 4.2% from £317.2 million in 2024. Reported revenue per available room improves 2.6% to £123.4 from £120.3, supported by average room rates of £164.3 and occupancy of 75.1%, up from 74.5%. Regional performance is mixed: UK hotels delivered growth, driven by higher occupancy, while trading in the Netherlands and Germany was ‘subdued’. In Croatia, hotels, apartments and campsites performed ‘well’ during peak summer months. PPHE reiterated that its strategic review launched in November continues. The company expects to report that it met analyst consensus for 2025, placing revenue between £458.4 million and £469.0 million, between 3.5% and 5.9% higher than £442.8 million in 2024. Further, Ebitda is anticipated between £133.2 million and £137.8 million, between 2.4% lower and 1.0% higher than £136.5 million in 2024. Co-Chief Executive Officer Greg Hegarty said: ‘2025 was another year of financial and strategic progress for PPHE Hotel Group, achieved against a volatile macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. We are encouraged by our solid delivery in the final quarter of the year, with full year results expected to be in line with market expectations. ‘We completed our largest-ever investment programme, marked by the opening of art’otel Rome Piazza Sallustio, and we continued to establish the market positions of our recently opened and repositioned properties, including that of the art’otel London Hoxton, to maximise the long-term financial potential of these properties. Our long-term pipeline was strengthened with the acquisition of a mixed-use development site near the City of London.’ The firm will publish 2025 results on February 26. PPHE Hotel shares were 1.1% lower at 1,840.00 pence each on Wednesday morning in London. Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
