Major European hotel operator Revo Hospitality Group collapses into administration

Major European white label hotel operator Revo Hospitality Group has filed for “self-administration”.

The Berlin-based hotel management platform was launched in April 2025 under the umbrella of European multi-brand hotel operator HR Group, established in 2008.

Last year, HR Group was in a period of rapid expansion, having acquired over 60 hotels from H-Hotels and 10 properties from H World International.

Revo Hospitality Group managed more than 260 hotels across 12 European countries, some of which operated under own brands Vagabond Club, Hyperion and Aedenlife.

It also worked with several global hotel chains such as Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Accor and IHG.

According to reports, 140 companies belonging to Revo Hospitality Group filed for insolvency under their own management at Charlottenburg District Court in Germany.

Some 125 hotels in Germany and Austria are due to remain in operation with 5,500 employees.

Revo Hospitality Group blamed its collapse on increased wage costs, sharp rises in minimum wage, high costs for rent, energy and food and its rapid expansion in recent years.

Earlier this week, Dalata Hotel Group owner Pandox issued a statement in response to Revo Hospitality Group’s “so-called self-administration under the German Insolvency Act”.

It confirmed Pandox’s exposure to the announcement is “expected to be limited” and that it has bank guarantees corresponding to one year’s rent.

Pandox’s ties to Revo Hospitality Group consisted of leases in nine hotels with 1,859 rooms in seven cities across Germany, corresponding to roughly 4% of Pandox’s total portfolio.

Revo Hospitality Group and some of its franchisors, including Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and Accor, have been contacted for comment.
