Revo Hospitality Group, Europe’s largest white-label hotel operator, has filed for insolvency under self-administration at Charlottenburg District Court. The company, formerly known as HR Group, manages over 260 hotels across 12 European countries and 146 cities, including brands such as Hilton and ibis Styles.
Around 140 companies belonging to the group have entered administration, but the approximately 125 hotels in Germany and Austria will continue trading with all 5,500 employees. Court-appointed administrators will oversee the proceedings, and experts have been brought in to stabilise operations and devise a restructuring plan.
The group cited escalating costs, including higher wages, rent, energy and food prices, as major strains on the business. It also blamed its rapid expansion in recent years for creating duplicate structures and integration problems, noting that the number of overnight stays did not meet expectations and planned turnover for 2025 was not achieved.
Revo Hospitality operates hotels in Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Italy, Poland and Spain, with most properties in Germany. The group acquired its first hotel in Leipzig in 2008 and expanded from 51 hotels in 2020 to over 260 today, generating around €1.3bn (£1.1bn) in annual turnover and employing about 8,300 staff across Europe.
