Ireland's largest hotel operator Dalata said trading remained "robust" throughout the second half of 2024 as the group continued to expand across the UK and Europe.

In a trading update for the last six months of the year, the Maldron and Clayton Hotel owners said it expects to deliver adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) of more than €232m, reflecting 4% annual growth.
