Tikehau launches a €350 million hotel platform targeting mid‑scale Holiday Inn Express properties in Madrid, Málaga and Barcelona
Executive summary: Tikehau announced the launch of a €350 million hotel platform with a pipeline of projects in Madrid, Málaga and Barcelona under the Holiday Inn Express brand. It signals increased capital allocation to Europe’s mid‑scale hotel sector, potentially affecting supply, pricing and competition. Tikehau Capital (real‑asset manager), Holiday Inn Express (brand operator), local developers and municipal authorities in the three cities. The platform will secure permits, begin construction and aim for first openings in late 2026, with possible expansion to other European markets.
The platform, announced on 23 June 2026, will develop a pipeline of projects in three major Spanish cities under the Holiday Inn Express brand. It reflects growing investor interest in Europe’s mid‑scale hotel segment as travel demand rebounds. By aggregating assets under a single vehicle, Tikehau aims to streamline acquisition, development and management while offering investors exposure to a diversified hotel portfolio. The initiative could intensify competition for existing operators and stimulate construction activity in the targeted markets.
