Berlin-based HR Group has acquired H-Hotels, one of the largest privately managed hotel companies in Germany. The transaction, effective as of 25 February, includes over 60 hotels across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, and Hungary. H-Hotels GmbH, headquartered in Bad Arolsen, Hesse, operates well-established brands including Hyperion Hotels, H4 Hotels, H2 Hotels, H+ Hotels, H.ostels, and H.omes.

This acquisition marks a milestone in HR Group’s dynamic growth trajectory. With this expansion, the group significantly increases its current portfolio by around one-third and further strengthens its position as Europe’s leading multi-brand hotel management company.

“A special thank you goes to my colleagues at H-Hotels, Alexander Fitz and Thomas Querl, without whom this monumental task would not have been possible. We are convinced that H-Hotels, with its strong brands, high-quality properties, and outstanding corporate culture, is a perfect fit for our portfolio. We look forward to working together with our new colleagues to further develop H-Hotels and to combine the strengths of both companies,” says Ruslan Husry, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of HR Group.

HR Group will further develop the H-Hotels brand for the future. H-Hotels will continue to operate under its established name. This transaction underscores the strategic significance of the company’s business model and its strong market presence within the European hospitality sector.

HR Group will leverage its expertise in areas such as procurement and sales to unlock additional synergies. Over the coming months, HR Group will work closely with HHotels’ teams to define a long-term vision on digitalization as well as food and beverage concepts and optimal organizational structure.

“H-Hotels is renowned for its excellent properties and diverse brand portfolio, ranging from budget-friendly accommodations to premium hotels. We are excited to further develop this valuable portfolio and strengthen our market presence. At HR Group, we are committed to open and transparent communication with all employees – both within our organization and at H-Hotels. We warmly welcome our new colleagues,” Husry adds.
