The holiday inn wouldn't be contracting with the home office directly as they have three of four regional contractors who subcontract everything. Given I am told by someone involved in those contracts that the amount per individual is about £100 a day, and they generally try and put two in a room, I would say your friend has been incorrectly informed. By the way holiday inn as a brand us owned by IHG but the individual hotels are franchised so there is no such thing as the Holiday Inn chain...

Any idea what profits these hotels are making? At the end of all of this, do you envisage the owners will dispose of the hotels and land they sit on or will there be considerable capex programs to bring the properties back up to a marketable standard?

Different ways of doing the contract so its impossible to say. Some might be losing less money, depending on what the lease for the property says if they are not the freeholder. But according to the numbers I ran we would make more money on the three properties I modelled compared to running as hotels - but all three were not the best locations and had historic high rental levels....

I'd imagine a few of the owners will take the cash for now and worry about the future later but probably chuck some of the profits at a refurb and rebrand to disassociate them from their previous lives....

0.5% GDP growth in a month, ftse100 climbing and inflation lower than expected

Labour saving our country. To even tread water in this unstable global economy is an achievement in and of itself. So nice to have the adults back in the room.

That's Walton level of trolling

Ie crap.

Growth is crap this calendar year, inflation is way above target, FTSE us way down on start of year and all to do with US and China...with down and up.

Damn, I bit...

Looking forward to more bin strikes, teachers strikes, rail strikes later this year... crap growth, relatively high inflation and summer of discontent, renationalisation of industries... be like the late 70s again under Callaghan

Hey Josh, double whammy from the inflation drop - more likely to see an interest rate cut. Which will lead to reduced mortgage rates and reduced savings rates, making those rich pensioners worse off again. Win win.

Mind the lower mortgage rates might push up house prices given them even more equity. Damn, they seem to win all ways....

Lower savings rates wont affect RR as apparently she doesnt have any according to her tax return (or maybe she maxed out her ISA before she reduced the limit....

SKS did get a lot of interest, but then its clear he has no idea about the working class...

The calm before the April storm is added to the figures my friend.
When is liar Starmer going to the lectern to talk about the continued increase in illegal immigration?

Just remember this is the same government who’ll happily continue to keep shelling out approx £40k-£50k per year to look after every illegal immigrant who arrives by boat on these shores.
£28 millions worth landed yesterday.
Traitors to the British people.

Get in quick. The good thing about you taking the credit this time is when all of the April cost increases, the NI increase etc feed through to higher inflation and lower growth.. well you can no longer blame the last lot!

You obviously know the business better than anyone on here so will no doubt correct me if this doesn’t sound right but I was at a meeting with a client of mine last week and they are in the industrial laundry business, serving many big independents as well as hotel chains.

He tells me a customer of his with a 90 room hotel in Lancashire is paid £145 per night per room by the Government to take the whole hotel for asylum seekers. They get the price per room whether every room is occupied or not. This has to be the agreement as the hotel is shut to the general public.

So 400k a month. Obviously no idea what profit level is on that, but I imagine it’s quite tidy. Nice work if you can get it.

They are worse than the tories

You’d expect, well I would, the Eton educated toffs to dispose the working class.

This lot must absolutely despise us. Take away the working class funding for welfare, education, pensions, social security. Never mind the blatant betrayal of victims of hideous abuse.

While spending eye watering amounts on illegals they have no intention of repatriating



I’d like to kick Starmer in the knackers. Repeatedly.
