EasyHotel plans Paris airport property in European expansion drive

A 209-room budget hotel close to Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport is to be developed by easyHotel as part of ambitious European expansion plans

The company has signed an exclusive letter of intent with Groupe ADP, owner and operator of the three main airports in the Paris region and operator of 26 airports worldwide, for an operating lease for the hotel.

The new-build property is hoped to open in the 2020-21 financial year, subject to planning permission being granted.

EasyHotel chief executive Guy Parsons said: “I am delighted by the progress we have made to develop our first site in France.

“Paris is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, attracting circa 33.8 million foreign visitors a year, and the hotel will be a valuable addition to our portfolio.

“Following the recent opening of our 204-room hotel in Barcelona this project is early testament to our growing ambitions for the brand in continental Europe.

“We see a number of attractive opportunities, particularly in France, Germany and Spain where the board believes there is potential for the brand to target ten to 15 cities in each of these countries and we look forward to announcing further opportunities in due course.”
