Azur Volos is scheduled to operate as a four-star hotel with 49 rooms following a €1.5m renovation.

The renovation costs have been covered through equity.

The management expects an average daily rate (ADR) of €80 per room, with a use rate of 70%.

Azur Meganisi has 18 suites offering sea views, with most suites featuring private pools.

It also has a bar restaurant, spa, fitness centre with personal trainers, and a pool overlooking the Ionian Sea. The company will manage the hotel.

The management anticipates an ADR of €450 and a use rate of 75%.

For both hotels, the management expects the gross revenue to be evenly distributed between hotel and bar revenues, with the restaurant contributing less than 10%.

The Azur Selection’s portfolio includes a shopping centre and seven hotels, with three being sublet to a hotel operator and four being fully managed.
