Clayton Hotels owner Dalata says full recovery could take until 2024

Dalata Hotel Group chief executive Pat McCann and CEO designate Dermot Crowley. Mr Crowley said the group may not see a full recovery until late 2023 or early 2024. 

The chief executive designate of the Dalata Hotel Group has said it could be 2024 before the company returns to pre-Covid revenue levels.

However, Dermot Crowley said the owner of the Clayton and Maldron hotel chains is hopeful of a recovery starting in the second half of this year, but is also financially strong enough to withstand further disruption.
