Company
Madeira Golden Residence (MGR) is a modern 4-star hotel located in Funchal with 172 rooms. Hotel Raga is a 4-star hotel with 170 rooms, in Funchal’s Lido neighbourhood. Both assets were part of insolvent or pre-insolvent companies.
Investment
Despite the challenging circumstances for Madeira’s tourism, ECS executed a restructuring process that involved (i) taking over the assets amid insolvent or pre-insolvent situations and (ii) repositioning the assets through light investments, commercial adjustments with tour operators and operational improvements towards best industry practices.
Divestment
After successfully navigating the restructuring fronts, ECS launched a sale process targeting industry buyers. The MGR hotel was ultimately sold to a domestic hotel group and Raga to a foreign investor, both at a significant profit.
