Future development plans

Enhancing market presence

Husry expressed enthusiasm about welcoming the H-Hotels team and leveraging the strengths of both organizations to enhance the guest experience and operational efficiency.
With a diverse portfolio ranging from budget-friendly to upscale hotels, H-Hotels brings a strong brand presence that complements the HR Group’s growth strategy. The integration of both companies is expected to create synergies that enhance service quality, innovation, and competitiveness in the European hospitality sector.
