At Essendi, we do more than operate hotels: we create the dynamics that make them thrive.

As a European leader in the economy and midscale segments, we invest and operate with a single ambition: to transform each asset into a sustainable, vibrant, and meaningful place.

We combine asset management and operational excellence to unlock the unique potential of every hotel.

Present in 24 countries with 20,000 employees, we operate 576 hotels under internationally renowned brands such as ibis, Novotel, and Mercure, etc.
We are committed to fostering Positive Hospitality, acting for a lasting positive impact – on our company, our people, and, beyond our walls, on society.

With care, dare, and the will to empower, we create and foster places that thrive.
