Irish hotel group Dalata says its growing London portfolio drove its UK growth in the second quarter, as it set out plans expand its presence in the capital.
The owner of the Clayton and Maldron hotel brands saw 23% growth in like-for-like revenue per available room in London, compared to 12% elsewhere in the UK. This was driven both by higher occupancy and higher room rates, after London locations lagged behind in the immediate aftermath of the pandemic.
