STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
- 1 -
The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Principal activities
The purpose of the company is to undertake activities in management and administration of related companies.
Review of the business
The company’s revenue has decreased by £366k, bringing total revenue to £8,915k (2024: £9,281k) generating a gross profit of £8,915k (2024: gross profit of £9,281k). The decrease in revenue in the year is due to a decrease in central costs across the Park Plaza UK group which has reduced recharges to other Group companies.
The statement of financial position shows that the net carrying value of the Company’s net assets at the year-end was £916,843k (2024: net assets of £876,922k).
Principal risks and uncertainties
The Company is directly exposed to the risks associated with the hotel industry as follows:
a. Treasury operations
The Company has no external borrowings and so its principal instruments are cash balances. In addition, the company has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade debtors and trade creditors arising directly from the operations of the business.
b. Liquidity risk
The Company manages its cash requirements at a Group level to maximise interest income and minimise interest expense, whilst ensuring that the company has sufficient liquid resources to meet the operating needs of its business.
c. Interest rate risk
The company is exposed to fair value interest rate risk on its bank overdraft facility only.
d. Foreign currency risk
At the year-end, there were no commitments to forward purchase any foreign currency. The Directors do not believe there is any significant foreign exchange risk.
e. Credit risk
Investments of cash surpluses are made with the company’s main bankers. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and provision is made for doubtful debts where necessary.
Future business developments
The Directors' expect the company to continue performing activities in management and administration of related companies in 2026 and the performance of the company will be dependent on the performance of the wider group.

Section 172 statement
The directors of the Company must act in a way they consider, in good faith, would most likely promote the success of the Company for the benefits of its members as a whole, and in doing so have regard (amongst other matters) to:
the likely consequences of any decision in the long term;
the interests of the Company’s employees;
the need to foster the Company’s business relationships with customers and others;
the impact of the Company’s operations on the community and the environment;
the desirability of the Company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and
the need to act fairly as between members of the Company.
The Board considers that it has complied in all material respects set out in Section 172(1) (a-f). The following paragraphs summarise how the directors fulfil their duties:
The Directors fulfil their duties by engaging regularly with key stakeholders such as group and/or parent entities with open communication and periodic meetings held to ensure all issues and/or decisions are being taken in line with the Company’s values and objectives – future forecasts are presented and discussed to ensure decisions which have long term implications are considered and agreed;
The Directors and Senior management team recognise that a dynamic and motivated workforce is key to delivering against the future growth strategy of the business, and in this regard employee participation is critical. The Company ensures that the wellbeing of employees is being considered throughout the year.
The Directors ensure that a culture of transparency and collaboration is taken, both when engaging with key stakeholders and with employees across the Company – meetings are held with the Senior Leadership team regularly whereby the key messages for the Company are then communicated throughout the various teams. Supplier and customer perspectives are also included in these meetings to ensure that these relationships are upheld and satisfaction is met;
The Directors consider that the Company’s reputation is critical when it is in relation to business conduct and actions taken through the year – by ensuring close and open communication with the Senior Leadership team, the directors employ a frequent check on business standards, updates and developments to enable high standards of business conduct, and that no material issues arise in this regard.
The Company culture also includes a focus on building and maintaining relationships with key suppliers and customers, whose support is paramount to the ongoing success of the business. Key suppliers are kept up to date with business developments and offered opportunities as they arise for continued and growing business. Key customers have built a strong relationship with the Company which allows for a joint beneficial relationship with increased business and a common trust on the level of service provided.
The Company engages with employees on an ongoing basis to ensure sufficient training, development and promotion opportunities are being presented to them. Open communication channels within the Company allow for employees to excel in specific areas which they are strongest/most interested in – for example there are various management programmes which seek to develop high potential candidates into future leaders.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
- 5 -
The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
United Kingdom company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law, the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF PARK PLAZA HOTELS (UK) LIMITED

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Park Plaza Hotels (UK) Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of financial position, the statement of changes in equity and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 101 Reduced Disclosure Framework (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of its profit for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:
the information given in the strategic report and the directors' truereport for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Discussions with and enquiries of management and those charged with governance were held with a view to identifying those laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. During the engagement team briefing, the outcomes of these discussions and enquiries were shared with the team, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity.
The following laws and regulations were identified as being of significance to the entity:
Those laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements include UK financial reporting regulations, Company Law, Tax and Pensions legislation and distributable profits legislation.
Those laws and regulations for which non-compliance may be fundamental to the operating aspects of the business and therefore may have a material effect on the financial statements include employment regulation, health and safety and fire regulation, GDPR, Trade Descriptions act 1968, food safety and Licensing Act 2003.
Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: enquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims; inspection of relevant legal correspondence; review of board minutes; testing the appropriateness of journal entries; and the performance of analytical review to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud.
PARK PLAZA HOTELS (UK) LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF PARK PLAZA HOTELS (UK) LIMITED (CONTINUED)
- 8 -
No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity’s controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

1.2
Going concern
As at true31 December 2025 the Company’s net assets at the year-end was £916,843k (2024: net assets of £876,922k). The directors have reviewed detailed business plans and cash flow projections to 31 December 2027 and believe that the company has sufficient cash resources to cover both working capital and capital expenditure requirements. The company has a strong balance sheet position and has been profitable in recent years and is expected to be going forward.
The directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare accounts on a going concern basis.
1.3
Revenue
Revenue represents the amounts invoiced, excluding value added tax, in respect of services performed for other entities within the Park Plaza Group.
1.4
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are shown at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures, Furniture and Equipment
3 to 10 years straight line basis
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the income statement.
1.5
Non-current investments
The Company’s investment in subsidiary undertakings is recognised at cost and is accounted for net of impairment losses.
1.6
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets
At each reporting end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are measured at initial recognition at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortised cost. A provision is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of any provision is recognised in profit or loss.

Trade payables
Trade payables are initially recognised as financial liabilities measured at fair value, and subsequent to initial recognition measured at amortised cost.
Bank borrowings
Interest bearing bank loans, overdrafts and other loans are recognised as financial liabilities and recorded at fair value, net of direct issue costs. Finance costs are accounted for on the accruals basis in the income statement using the effective interest rate.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled, or they expire.
1.10

Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are taken directly to the income statement.
1.12
Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.
1.13
Employee benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of inventories or non-current assets.
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.14
Foreign exchange
Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are initially recorded in the entity’s functional currency by applying the exchange rate at the monthly average rate. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated using the year end closing rate. All differences are taken to profit or loss.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are outlined below.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Impairment of non-financial assets, including investments
In assessing whether there have been any indicators of impairment of assets, the Directors have considered both external and internal sources of information such as market conditions, market yields and future projections.
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs of disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. The cash flows are derived from prepared budgets and do not include restructuring activities that the Group is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the performance of the assets of the Cash-Generating Unit (CGU) being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.
For the year ended 31 December 2025, it was concluded that there were no indicators of impairment.
Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the statement of financial position cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow (DCF) model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility.
Changes in assumptions relating to these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

Other receivables
For the year ended 31 December 2024, included within other receivables are borrowing costs that had been capitalised in relation to a loan facility. As at 31 December 2024, the company had not drawn any amounts from the facility and so the capitalised costs had been recognised within other receivables.
Derivative financial instruments
On 25 April 2022, the Company entered into two forward interest rate swap agreements with Santander UK Plc
The first interest rate swap has a notional amount of £100 million whereby, on a quarterly basis starting 30 June 2026 until 30 June 2031, the Company will receive a variable rate equal to three month Sonia and will pay a fixed rate of interest of 1.941% on the notional amount. The second interest rate swap has a notional amount of €100 million whereby, on a quarterly basis starting 30 June 2026 until 30 June 2031, the Company will receive a variable rate equal to three-month Euribor and will pay a fixed rate of interest of 1.95% on the notional amount.
The interest rate swap agreements include a mandatory early termination at 30 June 2026. Although the Company has entered into these interest rate swaps to serve as an economic hedge against changes in future interest payments, the interest rate swaps do not qualify as accounting hedges under IFRS 9 due to the mandatory early termination. Accordingly, these interest rate swaps are accounted for as financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss. As at 31 December 2024, the interest rate swaps have a fair value of £8,157k and are included in other non-current assets. On the 15 December 2025, the swap was assigned to a different Group entity and was transferred at a fair value of £7,655k. The loss of £503k in the year has been recognised as other operating expense in the Statement of Comprehensive income.
