Líbere Hospitality Group has reported that revenues increased 65% to €7m (£6.04m) in the first quarter of 2026, as the group expanded into the UK, France and Italy.
By the end of March, the company increased its operational capacity significantly to manage exactly 1,061 units across 30 assets. This represents a 76% increase in units compared to the 602 units active in March 2025.
International expansion drove much of this growth, with the group entering three European markets alongside domestic development in Spain. The company secured the Coopers Building in Liverpool, its second UK city acquisition. It also launched in Paris and Rome.
Performance metrics remained stable during this expansion, with a quarterly average occupancy rate of 80% and an average length of stay of three nights. According to Líbere, operations rely on a proprietary digital platform to automate check-ins, guest communication and dynamic pricing.
This technology allows the group to operate with smaller teams and lower costs per stay than traditional hotel models. The business expects to finish 2026 with 1,764 units across 41 assets, representing a 77% increase in capacity from the end of 2025.
Other developments include the launch of a flex living project in Madrid and the integration of the bite and brew food and beverage concept. The group now holds a pipeline of signed assets across six European countries.
Antón de la Rica, co-chief executive of Líbere Hospitality Group, said: “LHG’s Q1 results underscore a pivotal moment in our pan-European strategy. Doubling our operational units while maintaining high performance levels validates the efficiency of our digital core.
“Our successful entry into Paris, Rome, and Liverpool marks the beginning of an accelerated growth phase that keeps us firmly on track to further consolidate our leadership in the urban alternative stay market.”
