    A new fund dedicated to premium hospitality in Europe

    Un nouveau Fonds dédié à l'hôtellerie premium en Europe

    This is a marketing communication relating to a fund reserved for Sophisticated Investors within the meaning of Article 423-49 I of the General Regulation of the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF). Investing involves risks, including a risk of capital loss.

    A diversified pan-European strategy targeting assets with strong value creation potential

    With this new Fund, EXTENDAM intends to build a portfolio of at least 12 hotel SMEs operating hotels located in the heart of Europe’s capitals and major cities. The Fund will primarily target France, Italy, the Iberian Peninsula, Benelux, Germany, Greece and Austria, focusing on deep and liquid urban markets driven by strong tourism and business demand. It will target transactions combining property and operating businesses, in order to enhance the value of both the hotel operations and the real estate asset.

    The selection of transactions will be based on three main criteria: the quality and location of the hotels, their value creation potential and the experience of the operators responsible for managing them. This approach will make it possible to build a portfolio that is diversified both geographically and operationally, across several destinations and hotel partners.

    This strategy draws on more than fifteen years of EXTENDAM experience in hotel investment in Europe. It is based on active asset management throughout the holding period, from acquisition to disposal, as well as in-depth knowledge of European markets and an established network of hotel partners.

    Premiumisation at the heart of the Fund’s strategy

    The Fund’s strategy is based in particular on the “premiumisation” of the hotels acquired. This involves identifying hotels that enjoy a prime location and still under-exploited potential, then strengthening their positioning, services and performance.

    Depending on the opportunities, this transformation may involve renovating rooms and common areas, developing the concept or service offering, commercial repositioning, affiliation with a new brand or even a change of operator. Optimising distribution and revenue management¹ may also help improve performance.

    This strategy responds to a structural shift in the European hotel market, marked by travellers’ growing demand for quality experiences and services, and by the gradual move upmarket of supply in many destinations.²

    Summary of the Fund’s investment strategy, which in no way constitutes a guarantee of performance. For more information, please refer to the Fund Regulations.

    A European market that continues to support premium and value-add strategies

    Europe remains the world’s leading tourist destination and has historically accounted for more than 50% of international tourist arrivals.³ It also has one of the largest and most mature hotel stocks in the world, driven by both domestic and international demand. This demand continues to grow: in 2025, nearly 3.09 billion nights were spent in tourist accommodation in the European Union, a new record.⁴

    At the same time, the development of new capacity remains constrained in many European destinations by the scarcity of land, planning regulations, complex permitting procedures and high construction and financing costs.

    This structural imbalance between supply and demand helps support the sector’s performance, particularly through rising average room rates. In the first half of 2026, average European RevPAR⁵ reached €101, up 3% compared with the same period in 2025.⁶

    “In an environment marked by uncertainty and inflation, we are also seeing growing interest from investors, both private and institutional, in tangible assets based on the real economy. In this respect, the hotel sector has a particularly concrete dimension: investors can take part in the development of hotels they know, may have stayed in, or that are located in familiar destinations, while giving meaning to the way they invest their savings. This Fund thus makes it possible to diversify allocations, whether for individuals or legal entities, by providing exposure to a theme that is still under-represented in some portfolios. Subject to compliance with the applicable legal conditions, the Fund may also allow investors to benefit from the reinvestment scheme provided for in Article 150-0 B ter of the French General Tax Code.⁷”
