PREM

What PREM does

PREM Group is a Dublin-headquartered international hotel and hospitality management company founded in 1996, operating a multi-brand portfolio of 30+ properties and 2,300+ rooms across Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Continental Europe. The group owns, leases, and manages hotels and serviced apartments under six brands, including international flags (Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Crowne Plaza, Small Luxury Hotels of the World) and proprietary brands (Leopold Hotels, PREMIER SUITES, Aspect Hotel, The Hoban Hotel, Osprey Hotel). The company has been majority-owned by Fortress Investment Group since December 2021, with management reinvesting alongside the sponsor to execute an acquisition-led growth plan focused on freehold European properties.

PREM Group operates a five-unit platform centered on PREM Hospitality (hotel management) and complemented by RateWise (cloud-based revenue management software serving 75+ hotels across 9 countries), Sprint Digital (digital marketing agency for hospitality clients), Trinity Hotel Groups (groups and tours booking services), and Premier Business Centres (serviced and virtual offices in Ireland). The proprietary technology layer—RateWise, Eureka eLearning, and HR Locker—supports both internal operations and external client services. Flexible management offerings range from full management contracts to specialized support in revenue management, digital marketing, and business development for third-party hotel owners and investors.

Revenue is generated through hotel operations (room rentals, food and beverage, meetings and events), subscription software and yield management consulting (RateWise), professional services (Sprint Digital), and serviced office rentals (Premier Business Centres). Distribution combines direct booking, OTAs (Booking.com, Expedia), international brand reservation systems (IHG, Choice, Wyndham), and groups/tours channels. B2B customers include hotel owners, investors, and independent operators; B2C customers are corporate and leisure travelers. Pricing is quote-based and varies by property, location, and season, with no publicly disclosed rates.

Recent moves9 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Wyndham Hotels & Resorts: Global franchisor of economy and midscale brands (Days Inn, Ramada, Wyndham). PREM's early partnership with Wyndham underpinned the PREMIER Apartments/SUITES expansion and UK/Belgium footprint.
• InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG): Global franchisor of Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, and Crowne Plaza — three brands under which PREM operates. As a brand owner and licensor, IHG is an incumbent that dictates franchised economics for a large share of PREM's rooms.
• Choice Hotels International: Major US-based franchisor of midscale brands (Comfort, Quality, Clarion). PREM partners with Choice for property expansion and procurement; Choice is a broad incumbent shaping distribution for the European mid-market.

Direct peers

• Dalata Hotel Group: Ireland's largest hotel operator, owning and operating 4-star hotels primarily under the Clayton and Maldron brands. Closest direct peer to PREM in geography, scale, and brand mix, with overlapping exposure to IHG-style franchising and the Irish/UK markets.
• Tifco Hotel Group: Ireland-based hotel management and investment group operating under Hilton, IHG, Marriott, and independent brands. Highly comparable to PREM as a multi-brand, third-party hotel manager with strong Irish/UK roots.
• Fattal Hotels (Leonardo Hotels): European hotel group operating and franchising the Leonardo Hotels brand across 80+ properties. Direct peer as a fast-growing, multi-brand European hotel manager with both owned/leased and managed asset exposure.
• Interstate Hotels & Resorts: One of the largest independent third-party hotel management companies in the world, managing 500+ properties across the US, Europe, and Asia. Direct peer in business model — pure-play management services across multiple brand families.
• Aimbridge Hospitality: Largest third-party hotel manager in North America and a growing player in Europe and the UK, operating franchised and independent properties. Closest large-scale direct peer to PREM in third-party management model and franchise-heavy portfolio.
• SACO (The Serviced Apartment Company): UK-based serviced apartment operator with a multi-city European portfolio. Direct peer to PREMIER SUITES, focused on extended-stay and corporate travelers in the same UK/European geographies.

Emerging players

• IDeaS Revenue Solutions: Global SaaS revenue management software vendor serving hotels and casinos. Comparable to PREM's RateWise business as a direct competitor in cloud-based RMS technology for the hospitality sector.
