Business

Overview

Name: 4C Hotel Group

4C Hotel Group manages and develops properties and hotels in key business districts and leisure hot spots across the UK, Middle East, East Africa and Canada. The company was formed in 2010, building on the foundations of a family property business that stretches back to the 1990s.

OnePlanet was engaged by 4C Group to configure an ‘Ecosystem’ that would host the central vision for the group and connect a number of its hotel plans to its central vision and ESG goals.
