Corinthia Lisbon Sale Completed: IHI Strengthens Balance Sheet and Growth Prospects

On 1 April 2026, International Hotel Investments plc (IHI) announced the successful completion of the sale of a majority interest in Corinthia Lisbon, at an enterprise valuation of €150 million, encompassing both the hotel’s real estate and operating business. The property had a reported asset value of €144 millionas at 31 December 2024.

The transaction was executed through a newly established joint venture with Orion European Real Estate Fund VI, managed by Orion Capital Managers, an experienced investor in the European hospitality sector. Under the structure of the deal, IHI retains a 28 per cent equity interest, preserving a strategic stake in one of its flagship assets. The joint venture funded the acquisition through a combination of shareholder capital and newly secured debt.

Corinthia Hotels Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of IHI, has been reappointed to manage and operate the Corinthia Lisbon on a long-term basis, ensuring operational continuity and the ongoing strength of the Corinthia brand.

Net proceeds to IHI from the transaction amount to €90 million, after accounting for the Group’s €18 million reinvestment into the joint venture, the repayment of existing debt secured against the Lisbon property, and other balancing adjustments.

The IHI Board of Directors intends to deploy the proceeds towards the repayment of additional Group borrowings, the distribution of a dividend to shareholders, and the evaluation of further investment opportunities to support the continued international expansion of the IHI Group and the global growth of the Corinthia brand.
