International Hotel Capital Partners

What International Hotel Capital Partners does

International Hotel Capital Partners B.V. (IHCP) is a privately held Dutch hotel developer and operator headquartered in Breda with a support office in Hoofddorp. Founded in 2010 by entrepreneur Bas Blommaart (formerly of hotel software firm Hotel Concepts/Itesso, acquired by Amadeus in 2015), the company acquires and develops hotel real estate and operates the assets under franchise agreements with three tier-1 international hotel organizations: Marriott (Renaissance Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, Moxy Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, Moxy The Hague, Residence Inn The Hague), Hilton (Hilton Garden Inn Leiden, acquired 2023), and Accor (Mercure Amersfoort City Centre). The portfolio comprises approximately six hotels and 1,000 rooms concentrated in the Randstad region of the Netherlands.

IHCP's revenue model is hybrid: managed-services income from hotel operations (rooms, F&B, meetings and events) under franchise brand standards, combined with capital appreciation and yield from owned real estate. Distribution is handled primarily through the brand partners' global systems — brand-direct websites, GDS, OTAs (Booking.com, Expedia), and loyalty programs (Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors). The company differentiates operationally by acting as main contractor on its development and conversion projects, parceling work among specialized subcontractors for cost control and execution leverage, supported by an in-house Construction & Asset Manager. Distribution and booking technology is delegated entirely to the franchisor brands; IHCP does not disclose proprietary technology.

Go-to-market is relationship-driven at the asset level: IHCP pursues opportunistic acquisitions and conversions in the Randstad (e.g., 2023 acquisition of Hilton Garden Inn Leiden from RECO Development; 2022 purchase and renovation of Moxy The Hague). Customer mix is weighted toward business travelers (corporate stays, meetings, events) with a secondary leisure traveler base, served through brand-affiliated channels. The company is privately held, founder-controlled, not PE- or VC-backed, and does not disclose revenue or headcount. Leadership comprises Founder Bas Blommaart and Director of Hotels Remco Gerritsen (operational lead since 2020), with dedicated commercial (Sales, Marketing & Events) and construction functions.
