Revo Hospitality Group, Europe's largest white-label hotel operator, has filed for insolvency under self-administration, impacting around 140 companies within the group. The company runs more than 260 hotels across 12 European countries and 146 cities, including major franchise brands such as Accor, Wyndham, Hilton, Marriott, and IHG, as well as its own brands like Vagabond Club, Hyperion, and Aedenlife.
The decision affects hotels in Germany, Austria, France, the Czech Republic, Spain, Switzerland, Hungary, the Netherlands, and Italy. However, all 125 hotels in Germany and Austria will continue operating with all 5,500 staff members. The proceedings will be supervised by administrators appointed by the Charlottenburg District Court.
In a press release, the group cited economic difficulties, including increased wage costs, a sharp rise in minimum wages, and higher costs for rent, energy, and food. It also noted that strong expansion in recent years led to duplicate structures and integration problems. The group grew from 51 to 250 hotels from 2020 onwards, generating €1.3 billion (approximately £1.1 billion) in annual revenue and employing around 8,300 personnel across Europe.
However, fresh acquisitions proved costly, and occupancy increases fell short of projections, leading to missed revenue targets for 2025. Restructuring experts Dr Gordon Geiser and Dr Benedikt de Bruyn have been brought in to steady operations and formulate a restructuring strategy. The firm has also sought advance funding for wages from January through March 2026 from the Federal Employment Agency.
