What the group puts behind the door.

  • 68%

    Direct bookings

    Two thirds of room nights come through our own channels, not intermediaries charging fifteen per cent.

  • 96%

    Guests who return

    Averton Circle members book again within eighteen months and spend more per night.

  • 6

    Countries of demand

    A guest base that already crosses borders, so a new house does not open to an empty book.

    Days to first booking

    From signature to live inventory, including systems, training and the first rate plan.

What we look for: the house, before the numbers

  • 01

    A building with something to restore

    Character we can keep. We do not take on new-build boxes.

  • 02

    Between 20 and 200 rooms

    Small enough for one team to know every guest, large enough to carry a kitchen.

  • 03

    A market that is not only summer

    Cities and destinations with at least eight workable months.

  • 04

    A team worth keeping

    We would rather inherit a good team than import one.

Meetings and events

Rooms that hold a conversation. Daylight, fast connections and a team that stays in the building.

Every house keeps at least one private floor. One quote with room, catering and technology, and one coordinator from the first call to the last departure.

  1. 01

    Board meetings

    Six to twenty people, daylight, and a door that closes properly.

  2. 02

    Private dining

    The house kitchen, a room of your own and a menu agreed in advance.

  3. 03

    Residential programmes

    Whole floors or whole houses, for two days or two weeks.

Figures are typical for a five-star house; each building is quoted on its own plan.

  • One coordinator

    The same person from the first call to the final invoice, based in the house.

  • One quote

    Room, catering and technology on a single line, with nothing added afterwards.

  • One walkthrough

    The room is set and checked with you the evening before.

Let's talk

Tell us about the house. Where it is, how big it is and what you are weighing up.

We are not looking for volume. Two houses a year, chosen on the building, the market and the team already in place, in that order. If the house is right, we would rather adapt our model to it than the other way round.

In detail

Averton Hotels & Resorts, our hotel group

ARK’s hospitality practice is Averton Hotels & Resorts, a hotel group with ten brands across Europe, ranging from five-star hotels to serviced residences for stays of weeks or months. They share one idea of hospitality: personal service, considered design and rigorous operations.

You can explore the hotels and destinations, and book direct, at avertonhotels.com.

Ten brands, one standard

Averton, Vantage, Élan, Seren, Haven Collection, Avenue, Nova, Porter, Origin Collection and Aver Residence. Each brand serves a different kind of trip and guest, from the luxury of the flagship house to long stays with the comfort of an apartment and the services of a hotel.

The Averton Circle loyalty programme shares points and preferences across every brand, so guests are recognised wherever they stay.

Whether the trip is a weekend in a city centre, a family holiday at a resort or a three-month project in a new country, the aim is the same: a stay that feels effortless, with staff who know the destination and a level of service guests can rely on from one brand to the next.

Hotel management backed by a group

Beyond running its own brands, Averton brings hotel management expertise to owners and investors: positioning and brand selection, pre-opening and launch, day-to-day operations, distribution and revenue management, guest experience and owner reporting.

For owners of buildings with hospitality potential, we work with our real estate practice on feasibility and on converting the asset into a boutique hotel, aparthotel or branded residences.

Technology is central to modern hotel management: property management systems, booking engine, channel manager, CRM and analytics all need to talk to each other. Our software practice designs and integrates those pieces so hotel teams spend their time on guests, not on copying data between systems.

How we work with owners and investors

We start by understanding the asset and its market: location, demand, competition and the condition of the building. From there we propose the concept and brand that fit best, with a realistic business plan and opening timeline.

Once the hotel is open, we share clear performance indicators with the owner and plan maintenance and improvement capex together. The goal is a well-run hotel today and an asset that holds its value tomorrow.

Why ARK and Averton

A hotel group inside a company with real estate, investment, technology and 3D practices has an unusual advantage. We can assess acquiring or co-investing in an asset, visualise the project in 3D before works begin, refurbish it, open it under one of our brands and run it on our own technology.

For an investor, that means one counterpart from investment thesis to opening and day-to-day operation, with consistent information at every stage and none of the delays that come from handing a project between unrelated providers.

Our software practice supports operations with internal tools, integrations and digital product, while our web and app teams look after the direct channel to guests.
