S Hotel & Resort Moves Forward with its Portfolio Enhancement Strategy in the UK
Thailand-based S Hotel and Resorts Public Company Limited ("SHR") is moving forward confidently with its portfolio enhancement strategy in the United Kingdom. The strategy is based on three core pillars of portfolio enhancement: asset rotation and renovations, tactical mergers and acquisitions, and developing an asset-light business model to help accelerate its recovery from the global pandemic. The S Hotel & Resorts group currently has 27 hotels in the UK with 2,940 keys, operating under world-leading brands such as Mercure and Holiday Inn. In February 2021, S Hotels & Resorts invested GBP13.75 million to purchase additional 50% stakes in 26 of its UK hotels, raising its total ownership of these properties to 100%. The main strength of enhancing the UK hotel portfolio is that it is well-balanced both geographically and seasonally, and the revenue from the UK portfolio is expected to increase 50% in 2022 compared to 2021.
