BHG CEO Pieter van Voorst Vader said the acquisition of Grupo Solare will enable the company to take up a strategic position in the Brazilian states of Para and Maranhao. With the acquisition, BHG now has 45 owned and managed hotels with 8,322 rooms distributed across 15 states and the Federal District, as well as 12 hotels under development.
The company will add 2,329 rooms to the network in the future, increasing the number of owned and managed rooms to about 10,700 by the end of 2014, BHG said. Grupo Solare currently manages seven hotels in Sao Luis, in the budget (Soft Inn), economy (Expresso XXI) and midscale (Solare Hoteis and Suites) categories, totalling 858 rooms. The group also manages the 242-room luxury hotel Gran Solare Lencois Resort in Barreirinhas.
