About the Company

Ruby Hotels

European lean-luxury lifestyle hotel operator

Ruby Hotels operates urban lifestyle hotels and Ruby Workspaces across Europe, offering lean luxury with high-quality essentials and fewer services. Its hotels are built in prime city-center locations and often converted from offices or retail spaces, using modular construction and automated, centralized back-end processes with self-service check-in. This approach keeps costs down and spaces design-led, delivering stylish rooms with good beds and features while avoiding expensive amenities like full-service dining. The goal is to provide premium, accessible stays and flexible workspaces, and to scale the concept globally, a path evidenced by its acquisition by IHG and ongoing expansion.
