The group, which was set up by easyJet founder Stelios Haji-Ioannou, made a trading statement for the five months up to February 28 to investors today.

Chief executive Guy Parsons said: “Trading in the first five months of financial year 2016/17 was slightly ahead of the board’s expectations, with like-for-like revenue growth of 19%, as owned hotels continued to benefit from our revenue management strategy.

“We remain on track to open eight new hotels - four owned and four franchised - in the current year. We are actively evaluating a number of interesting opportunities, which potentially meet our site criteria of location and returns.”
