Dalata, one of Ireland’s largest hotel operators, has seen a rebound in business in May and June after a "challenging start" to 2024, but revenue for the first six months of the year is still expected to be marginally lower than the same period in 2023.

In a trading update issued on Thursday morning, the Maldron and Clayton owner noted an improvement in trading conditions in the last two months, with all four regions expected to outperform.
