Foncière des Régions acquires the “NH Amsterdam Centre” hotel****
from the NH Hotel Group
A new hotel real-estate partnership with a key European player
Foncière des Régions, through its specialist Hotel & Service-sector subsidiary Foncière des Murs,
acquires an “NH Hotels” hotel from the NH Hotel Group in Amsterdam. This ideally-situated fourstar establishment, with 232 rooms, is subject to a 20-year triple net fixed-term lease. The
acquisition represents an investment of €47.9M (transfer taxes included).
This acquisition also paves the way for a new partnership for Foncière des Régions with a new
brand, NH Hotel Group, which is one of the leaders in Europe and worldwide with 400 hotels and
some 60,000 rooms spread across 28 countries. Foncière des Régions is thus embarking on a
new stage in the realisation of its development strategy on the European ladder, whilst
diversifying its hotel partnerships.
Relying on the dynamism and capacity for innovation of the NH Hotel Group, and on Foncière des
Régions' 360° integrated expertise in hotel real-estate, the two partners intend to develop their
partnership in Europe.
"As a pioneer in the hotel real-estate sector, Foncière des Régions is currently the leader in that
market which harbours numerous development opportunities. We are delighted about this new
partnership with a leading brand. The transaction bears witness to our capacity for undertaking
complex and specific operations, and this thanks to our mastery of the competencies required for
hotel real-estate and our perfect comprehension of the Key Accounts", emphasises Dominique
Ozanne, Managing Director of Operations for Foncière des Régions and Chief Executive Officer
of Foncière des Murs.
