KKR says that the investment underlines it’s strong interest in leisure hotels in Southern Europe. The KKR-led venture aims at repositioning and modernizing the assets through a significant investment program.
KKR and Dunas Capital’s real estate expertise, combined with Alua’s hospitality know-how, will be key to unlocking value in the portfolio. Guillaume Cassou, head of European Real Estate at KKR, commented “This portfolio of quality assets in strong locations offers a very solid basis to create value in a market benefiting from strong tailwinds. We are convinced that, together with our quality partners, we will be able to create value for our investors. This acquisition represents an exciting first step in KKR’s partnership with Dunas Capital and Alua, and all groups are looking forward to doing more together.”
