First Sponsor Group posts $2.7b hotel income with European portfolio

Revenue dropped 3.2% YoY.

First Sponsor Group reported a total income of $2.7b (EUR1.8b) from its European hotel portfolio in Q1 2025.

Despite an increase in occupancy, the hotel portfolio reported a 3.2% year-on-year (YoY) lower revenue for Q1 due to the refurbishment of the Palais wing in Le Méridien Frankfurt (LMF) which closes 80 of the 300 rooms.

Excluding LMF, the portfolio was able to increase its revenue by 2.5%.

Meanwhile, its China hotel portfolio recorded a YoY drop in revenue and occupancy of 14.0% and 4.8%, respectively.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
