  • Manotel has historically performed strongly, maintaining revenue and GOP growth over the long-term.

Finial Capital is the group's historical shareholder and has strived over the past 42 years to continually improve the group's offering quality and performance. To achieve this, Finial Capital implemented a long-term active asset management plan which comprised of the sale of non-core assets and the subsequent CHF 125 million refurbishment plan of the remaining six assets. In 2007, Finial brought in a strategic joint-venture partner to bolster its revenue management expertise and prepare the group's expansion.
