Dalata sees revenue fall amid 'lower trade levels' in Ireland

Hotel group said its average revenue per room was expected to be 4% behind 2023 levels from January to April

Offsetting Dalata's softer trading in Dublin, the group said 2024 commenced with a "good performance" for its UK portfolio, which is expected to achieve "modest" revenue per room growth from January to April 2023.

Maldron and Clayton owner, Dalata has reported lower trade levels in the first four months of this year, citing the impact of rising competition and Vat rate increases on the business. 

In a statement published on Thursday morning ahead of the hotel owner's Annual General Meeting, the group said its average revenue per room was expected to be 4% behind 2023 levels from January to April.
