The work has seen a new room design rolled out in more than 1,000 ibis rooms as well as the introduction of new beds to 13 of the properties. A further 24 ibis public areas were also renovated.
AccorHotels also used the programme to invest in a new Novotel bed across the UK and renovate Mercure London Bridge alongside the introduction of a Marco Pierre White franchise to the property.
Herve Deligny, chief operating officer of HotelInvest, UK, which oversaw the works programme, said: “One of HotelInvest’s key activities is to invest in our existing portfolio to ensure our hotels are as attractive as possible to guests and consequently profitable.
“We continue to make significant investments across our brands, including the launch of the ibis sweet room which is one of the most contemporary and comfortable products in the economy segment.
“At the same time we are keen to add to our UK portfolio and are actively seeking great hotels in exceptional locations.”
HotelInvest recently announced that it will open five new hotels in the UK during 2016 and 2017, investing more than £160 million to add to its existing UK portfolio of 97 properties offering 15,395 rooms.
These investments include the flagship Novotel at Canary Wharf, London, which at 39 storeys will be the world’s tallest Novotel, providing 313 rooms.
HotelInvest was formed in November 2013 when AccorHotels took the decision to split its business into two distinct fields of expertise: HotelServices, a hotel operator and franchisor, and HotelInvest, a hotel owner and investor.
