Global travel tech company checks in Exeter hotel to portfolio
Global travel tech company OYO’s parent Oravel Stays Limited will add Mercure Exeter Rougemont Hotel to its portfolio as it expands its presence in the South West.
The business has signed a lease to operate the hotel within its premium Sunday brand, with the property due to undergo a comprehensive refurbishment.
The news forms part of a wider strategy to grow its luxury offering across the UK, adding a total of six new hotels to the Sunday portfolio, including Rougemont Hotel. The hotels are expected to collectively welcome approximately 65,000 foreign visitors each year, supporting local tourism.
Puneet Yadav, head of Oravel’s UK business, said: “We have focused on diversifying our premium offerings in the UK market, with the South West remaining a major priority for the business. Rougemont House benefits from its own unique character and history and will allow us to serve both business and leisure travellers, including corporate groups, weddings and conferences.”
The company operates premium hotels in the UK under its brand SUNDAY.
OYO launched its first SUNDAY in the UK – SUNDAY Lansbury Heritage in Canary Wharf, London. Beyond the UK, the company operates additional SUNDAY hotels across Asia and the Middle East, with hotels in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, UAE, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia.
