Interstate Hotels & Resorts Europe has recently signed 13 new management contracts to its ever-expanding hotel portfolio in the United Kingdom.

Located across the country and in major cities such as London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Brighton, Edinburgh and Durham, the new signings add over 2,000 more bedrooms to the Interstate Hotels & Resorts Europe family and brings its total number of operational and signed pipeline hotels to 74.

The leading global hotel management company will be working with major brands including Accor, Hilton Worldwide and InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) on the new hotels.

New build hotels opening in 2016 include the DoubleTree by Hilton Kingston-upon-Thames and the Hampton by Hilton Dundee with more launches planned later this year and into 2017.

Robert Crook, Interstate’s Managing Director for the UK, said: “We are delighted to announce that we have secured these 13 signed pipeline hotels, significantly strengthening our presence and offering in the UK. This is a very exciting time for Interstate Hotels & Resorts Europe, as the UK continues to be a strong growth area for the company.

“This success is a clear testimony to our truly independent status and the fact we put our owners’ needs, requirements and achievements first, committing whole-heartedly to the running of each individual business and creating tailored management solutions to improve owners’ profitability.

“It is also clear that the momentum in the UK market is gearing towards third party management as the preferred vehicle for managing branded hotels and we expect to capitalise on this over the coming months with more exciting announcements in the pipeline.”
