As hotel stays plummeted in 2020 at the height of the pandemic, daily housekeeping was one of the first services to be cut, but even as travel revived, it’s not coming back. It’s part of a wider trend within hospitality, fueling the rise of third-party operators. Many hotels are considering permanent cuts to a range of services, including cleaning and free breakfasts.
Private equity firm H.I.G. Capital has acquired Enseo, a technology services provider that is expanding from the hospitality vertical into senior living, education, and healthcare. Enseo plans to use the investment to rapidly accelerate growth, both organically and inorganically, according to the company.
