Hotel operator across Ireland, UK, Germany, and Netherlands with 56 properties
Dalata operates 56 hotels across four countries, with aggressive expansion underway—a new Berlin property launching in 2026 and accelerating hiring (154 roles posted in the last 30 days, mostly operations-focused). The tech stack is conventional hospitality tooling (Opera property management, Micros point-of-sale, Sage accounting, Salesforce CRM), but the project backlog reveals internal friction: succession planning, cost-effective refurbishment, and meeting-room sales capture appear repeatedly as challenges, suggesting operational scaling stress and potential gaps in middle management as the group expands.
Notable leadership hires: Sales Director, Social Media Lead, Head Chef
