The group operates 18 hotels in various categories in Hungary, and employs 1,000 people. Occupancy at AccorHotels units in Hungary rose to 76% in 2017, up from 73.8% in 2016.

Revenue per available room at the groupʼs Hungarian hotels rose 14.3% to HUF 14,940, mainly due to higher average prices. The net room rate climbed 10.9% to HUF 19,650.

Gesvret said the company projects a similar dynamic revenue increase this year, having spent EUR 35 million on hotel developments over the past two years including those ongoing.
