This funding will support EPISO 6's recent acquisition of easyHotel, a prominent European budget hotel operator, which was valued at over €400 mln in June 2025.
Beyond the acquisition itself, the KKR financing will fuel easyHotel's growth initiatives across Europe. These plans include expanding the platform, undertaking new development projects in key markets, and investing in capital expenditures for its existing hotel portfolio.
The loan is secured by easyHotel's diverse portfolio of 48 owned, leased, and franchised hotels, encompassing 4,700 rooms in various European countries, including the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Portugal, Hungary, and Bulgaria. EasyHotel is known for offering affordable, efficient, and well-located accommodation for both leisure and business travellers.
Ali Imraan, head of European Real Estate Credit at KKR, said: “The easyHotel portfolio combines broad geographic diversification with a proven model in one of the most resilient segments of the hospitality industry. With this financing, we are supporting Tristan Capital Partners, a strong sponsor with deep expertise in this market, in its expansion of a well-recognised brand across Europe. We are pleased to provide flexible capital that underscores our conviction in the platform’s growth potential and in the long-term strength of the European travel and leisure market.”
