In the past twenty years, there has been a consistent growth in European luxury hotel stays, thanks to a continued increase in demand following the pandemic. Luxury hotel owners have responded to this demand by raising room prices, leading to record-breaking Average Daily Rates (ADRs), especially in major cities like London where prices have surged by up to 38% post-pandemic. This trend has also prompted a wave of expansion across Europe, with luxury brands strategically securing new locations through management contracts to take advantage of the changing market dynamics. Savills has compiled data on new openings from top luxury hotel providers such as Mandarin Oriental, Four Seasons, and Belmond.

Prior to the pandemic, the industry experienced an average annual growth rate of 2.6% over the five years. Learn more:
