Budget accommodation provider easyHotel is to open a further five properties in Switzerland.
Four will be in Zurich and one will be in Basel, giving easyHotel a total of 174 additional rooms in Switzerland.
The hotels are being developed by the Group’s Swiss franchisee and are anticipated to open over the course of the next 14 months.
The group also announced today that it has completed the purchase of a site in Cardiff after being granted planning permission for a 120-room hotel.
Development work for the new purpose-built site, which is located at Fitzalan Place, close to Cardiff Queen Street Station, will now begin and the hotel is due to open in the 2019/20 financial year.
EasyHotel will open its Belfast hotel tomorrow, taking the total number of hotels in the Group’s portfolio to 29.
With the addition of the new hotels in Switzerland, the Group’s development pipeline currently includes 1,280 owned/lease rooms and a further 1,956 franchise rooms now under development.
