PPHE Hotel Group - Keeping busy

Q318 has seen PPHE deliver (eg like-for-like RevPAR +6%) against a strong comparative. London, the company's largest profit source, shared in a weather-led leisure market pick-up, while the Netherlands saw an early benefit from newly completed renovation at its flagship Victoria Amsterdam. Croatia, in its busiest period, topped a record 2017 despite the heatwave in northern Europe depressing demand. With current-year expectations unchanged ahead of key Q4 trading, longer-term growth is being driven by a £190m investment programme with key projects in the Netherlands and London well in hand. Expansion also remains on the cards, even if management is justifiably reluctant to pay up.
