Coming out of a high-inflation, high-interest-rate environment, which negatively impacted hotel transactions in Europe in 2023, transaction activity increased to the highest levels since 2019 in the first half of 2024. Reaching €10.6 billion, the total volume transacted increased by 123% year-on-year, already reaching the total volume for the whole of 2023. There were 20% more transactions this semester, with a decrease of 11% in the number of rooms per hotel, translating into a 30% increase in price per room over H1 2023.
