International Growth

“Hines has actively been exploring investment opportunities in Greece for some time under the leadership of our Athens-based country head Paul Gomopoulos,” said Lars Huber, CEO of Hines Europe, in prepared remarks. “We are very pleased to be making our entry into this market with the Ledra Hotel in our first transaction alongside our partner Henderson Park. We believe the asset represents an outstanding investment and repositioning opportunity, and look forward to embarking on a major renovation of the hotel, with a view to reopening under a new brand next year.”

The asset was acquired at auction and represents the first entry into the Greek market for both companies.
