In December 2005, IFA Hotels & Resorts acquired the majority stake in YOTEL, the world’s most radical hotel concept. The long awaited YOTEL concept is set to change the hospitality industry and will be developed throughout the world in prime city centre and airport locations. Two hotels opened in the UK during 2007 at Heathrow and Gatwick, while a third property opened in Amsterdam Airport Schiphol during September 2008.

During November 2008, YOTEL signed a partnership agreement with Abu Dhabi National Hotels in order to develop two YOTELs in Abu Dhabi, one in the Abu Dhabi International Airport and the other in the city centre. Further international sites are also under negotiation.

With the signature YO! Formula of innovation and entertainment, the YOTEL concept uses the language of airline travel and offers a business class experience.
