iQ Hospitality Group

What iQ Hospitality Group does

iQ Hospitality Group s.r.o. is a privately held Czech hospitality management company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Prague, operating a portfolio of more than 20 hotels and restaurants under long-term management contracts across the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The firm serves hotel and restaurant property investors, signing 10-year management agreements with jointly approved business plans and delivering full operational, revenue management, HR, purchasing, and monthly investor reporting services. Notable managed assets include Hilton Prague, Diplomat Hotel Prague, STAGES HOTEL Prague (a Marriott Tribute Portfolio property), Grand Hotel Hradec, Hotel Element, Hotel Omnia, Martin Hotel Prague, Marrol's Boutique Hotel Bratislava (Small Luxury Hotels of the World) and Park Inn by Radisson Danube Bratislava, alongside F&B concepts such as Restaurace STODOLA and Cukrárna POVIDLOŇ in Lipno.

The firm's core technology layer is the proprietary iQSALES platform, operated through the iQsales s.r.o. subsidiary, which provides online sales, booking and revenue management automation across the managed portfolio. Its operating model layers proprietary technology on top of two structural advantages: a centralized purchasing function that negotiates volume-based supplier terms and fixes key input prices across all managed projects, and a talent engine that relocates hospitality professionals to regional Czech and Slovak destinations to staff assets year-round. A second subsidiary, ACE HOTELS s.r.o., runs dedicated MICE and corporate sales for the portfolio.

iQ Hospitality Group generates revenue through management fees on its 10-year operating contracts, supplemented by procurement-driven economics from centralized purchasing and by technology and corporate sales services delivered to its managed assets. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting property investors, investment groups and developers seeking professional hospitality management from concept through daily operations, with limited reliance on public marketing. Recent strategic activity has focused on taking over underperforming or newly built assets (Hotel Omnia 2021, Hotel U Kapličky 2023, Martin Hotels group 2023), expanding flagship properties (Grand Hotel Hradec, Premium Hotel Znojmo), and launching a new iQ Hybrid Hospitality concept combining co-living and co-working via Hotel Origin Prague (iQ Space Hotel & Hub), targeted to open in September 2026.
