Selina announced today the signing of six new locations in Morocco, Portugal, the United Kingdom and Israel as well as the opening of five new destinations in Israel, Australia and Brazil during the first quarter of 2022.
Collectively, these new signings and opened locations add to Selina’s expanding global network of hotels for remote workers and digital nomads, and mark the brand’s arrival into Morocco, where it expects to open two locations in the second quarter. With these additions, Selina expands its portfolio to 150 open or secured properties across 25 countries and six continents. As of the first quarter, Selina marked an important milestone, with 100 open locations worldwide.
In the first quarter, Selina’s portfolio generated year-over-year same-store occupancy growing by 70% to 55%. Annualized same-store revenue per bed space increased by over 100% to approximately $7,800 on average during Q1 2022.
Rafael Museri, Selina’s Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We had a very busy and highly productive first quarter, building on the momentum of our strong 2021. During the quarter we advanced multiple important initiatives that are fueling growth and driving brand engagement. Our goal is to not only deliver strong financial performance, but generate meaningful and sustainable value by developing environments, experiences and outcomes that inspire brand ambassadors, friendships, stronger communities and a better world. The success we continue to enjoy on these fronts is a direct result of the time and effort we put into understanding our customers, team members, and real-estate partners. We are building an enterprise that is entirely unique and look forward to capitalizing on the many opportunities we see ahead.”
