Dalata Hotels eyes entry to German market within five years

The Dalata Hotel Group intends to have a presence in Germany within the next five years.

Speaking after the group's agm in Dublin, chief executive Pat McCann said the owner of the Clayton and Maldron hotel chains has done a lot of market research in Germany. Earlier this year, Dalata suggested it might dip a toe in the German market if an opportunity arose, but would ultimately not meaningfully expand there for a number of years.
