On October 2, 2025, Highgate, a renowned leader in hotel management, investment, and development, announced the appointment of Nikos Konstantinidis as the new Senior Vice President of Acquisitions for Europe. Based in London, Konstantinidis will focus on identifying investment opportunities within the hotel sector, aiming to drive strategic growth in the region.

Highgate has established a significant presence across Europe, managing an expanding portfolio of both urban and resort hotels, which include branded and independent properties. By adopting a strategy that includes targeted acquisitions, repositionings, and collaborations, the company is committed to increasing its scale and operational footprint. With offices in London, Portugal, and France, Highgate leverages global resources along with local expertise to create long-term value for property owners while delivering exceptional experiences for guests.

Konstantinidis's appointment is seen as a critical step toward accelerating this ambitious strategy and enhancing Highgate's investment acumen, especially as the company seeks to expand its European footprint. Zach Berger, Highgate's director, stated, "Nikos's extensive experience in European markets, proven investment insight, and entrepreneurial spirit make him an exceptional addition to our leadership team and our growing European investment platform. His ability to manage and execute complex transactions across multiple jurisdictions aligns perfectly with our European growth strategy, and we are delighted to welcome him to the firm."

With over 12 years of experience across various asset classes, Konstantinidis brings a solid track record in hotel investments and asset management. He is recognized for his entrepreneurial mindset and his capability to execute multifaceted transactions. Konstantinidis remarked, "Taking on this role at Highgate during such a pivotal time for global growth is an honor and an opportunity. With its reputation for excellence and an unparalleled leadership team, Highgate is uniquely positioned to capitalize further on opportunities within dynamic markets and deliver enduring value. I look forward to driving its presence and success across Europe."

Before joining Highgate, Konstantinidis served as Director of Acquisitions and Business Development at L+R Hotels, where he led asset management and successfully executed investments within various European markets. His previous experience also includes a tenure at AXA Real Estate, where he underwrote and executed pan-European value-added transactions across office, hospitality, and real estate sectors. Throughout his career, he has been involved in numerous transactions and projects in countries such as the UK, Spain, Greece, Italy, the Nordics, France, Germany, Poland, Croatia, and Malta.

This new appointment follows Highgate's recent acquisitions, including the 259-room ReMIX Hotel in Paris, marking the company's return to the city, and the 194-room Hilton Porto Gaia in Portugal.
