ICG Real Estate has teamed up with hotel investor Pro-invest to invest up to £500m (€572m) in UK assets.

The two firms have created a venture which intends to acquire “high-quality hotel assets� in London and other core-UK markets.

Krysto Nikolic, the global head of ICG Real Estate, said: “We are excited about the opportunity developing in the UK hotel sector. 

“This joint venture combines the strengths of ICG and Pro-Invest in hotel investing and asset management, positioning us well to invest into the ongoing changes in the current economic and business cycle which we believe will drive a period of dislocation and repricingâ€�

Sabine Schaffer, the CEO of Pro-invest Europe, said: “The UK is one of Pro-invest’s high conviction European markets; one where the combination of our vertically integrated business model and significant in-house expertise and experience, allows us to create significant value for hotel investors.

â€�We are excited about the opportunity for synergies created by our partnership with ICG, not only in purchasing and managing assets but also future proofing them for sustainability requirements.â€�
