Atlas Hotels acquires Holiday Inn Express Folkestone

Atlas Hotels, a UK-based hotel management platform, has acquired Holiday Inn Express Folkestone – Channel Tunnel.

The move further expands the group’s presence in the UK, and “enhances” Atlas Hotels’ position as a platform for select-service hotels.

Located near the Eurotunnel, Holiday Inn Express Folkestone – Channel Tunnel serves as a preferred stopover for travelling to and from Calais. 

This acquisition marks a significant step in Atlas Hotels’ expansion throughout the UK, “reflecting its mission to maintain a portfolio of select-service properties that cater to modern traveller’s needs”.

Sean Lowe, CEO of Atlas Hotels, said: “This acquisition shows Atlas continues to grow with individual tuck-ins as much as we do with portfolio additions. 

“Holiday Inn Express Folkestone has long been a preferred destination for travellers passing through the Eurotunnel and is a key part of the economy around the Channel ports. We look forward to enhancing the guest experience and welcoming the team to the wider Atlas family.”
