Polish investment and asset management firm Griffin Capital Partners and German hotel operator PRIMESTAR Group have established Prime Griffin Hotels, a joint venture aimed at creating one of Poland’s largest integrated hospitality platforms.
The partnership, owned equally by both firms, combines Griffin Capital Partners’ experience in investment, development and asset management with PRIMESTAR’s hotel operating expertise. The venture has been created to pursue opportunities in Poland’s expanding hotel market, where tourism, business travel and investor interest continue to support sector growth.
Prime Griffin Hotels will operate through a fully integrated model covering investment, development, asset management and hotel operations. The company plans to focus on Poland’s largest urban centres, including Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, Katowice, Łódź, Poznań and Gdańsk.
The platform will target hotels with more than 100 rooms across the midscale, upscale and luxury segments. Investment strategies will include acquisitions, new developments, conversions, repositioning projects and operating partnerships. The venture intends to work with major international hotel brands including Hilton, IHG Hotels & Resorts, Marriott International and the JUNE hotel brand, while remaining open to additional partnerships.
Griffin Capital Partners currently manages investments with a gross asset value exceeding €11 billion across 20 platforms. Its previous ventures include residential rental platform Resi4Rent, rental housing operator LifeSpot, and student accommodation businesses Student Depot and StudentSpace.
PRIMESTAR brings operational experience from 21 hotels with 4,389 rooms across 13 cities in three countries. The company operates several internationally branded hotels, including some of the largest Hampton by Hilton and Holiday Inn Express properties in continental Europe. The group also contributes its proprietary JUNE hotel concept and digital operating platform designed to support automated guest services and scalable hotel management.
Nebil Şenman, Co-Owner and Managing Partner at Griffin Capital Partners, said the venture combines operational expertise, technology capabilities and local market knowledge to create a platform for investors, hotel owners and brands seeking exposure to the Polish hospitality sector.
Dr. Roland Rausch, Chairman and Owner of PRIMESTAR Group, described the venture as an important step in the company’s international expansion strategy and highlighted Poland as one of Europe’s most attractive hotel markets.
Maciej Dyjas, Co-Owner and Managing Partner at Griffin Capital Partners, said the company sees hospitality as an increasingly attractive asset class for institutional investors and believes the joint venture is well positioned to benefit from long-term market trends.
Prime Griffin Hotels is currently evaluating several acquisition, development and conversion opportunities across Poland and expects to announce its first transactions in the coming months. The venture aims to become a major partner for hotel owners, developers, international brands and institutional investors active in the country’s hospitality sector.
