More
Kerten Hospitality is a division of Ireland-based Kerten, a private and independent investment firm dedicated to creating value and profitable growth. Hospitality brands we have created include The House Hotel, The House Residence, and Cloud7 Hotel & Residence. We then pushed the boundaries further by founding Ouspace, which created supportive, 24/7, full-service work spaces that encourage solo working and collaboration. We also extended our focus to food and beverage, and one among the many concepts we are working on is a premium gourmet burger offering called Frikadell. Kerten Hospitality opens and manages unique properties, each with a real story and connection to the local community and culture, and we target local employment in our hotels where possible. Kerten Hospitality is committed to redefining the owner/operator relationship – where we emphasize working together with owners and offering brand and design guidelines which inspire, not rule. We have dedicated ourselves to being a part of and developing the future of hospitality with our forward-thinking and innovative ideas, and create concepts that will become a hub for travelers, residents, adventure enthusiasts, and people at work alike. We are shaping the future for better living - join us.
