Houlihan Lokey Advises Limehome

Houlihan Lokey is pleased to announce that Limehome has raised €75 million in growth capital from Cheyne Strategic Value Credit.

Founded in Munich in 2018, Limehome is a tech-enabled operator in the hospitality industry offering functional design accommodations across 13 European countries. The company’s asset-light model combines a fully digitised guest journey with tech-enabled operations, delivering a seamless hospitality experience to business and leisure travellers. Limehome has established itself as the leading next-generation hospitality operator in Europe, combining the scalability of a digital platform with the quality and consistency of a premium hospitality brand. Today, Limehome manages more than 190 live properties and has signed over 12,500 apartments across 156 cities.

The new funding will primarily support Limehome’s European growth strategy, including the rollout of additional units across its existing footprint, continued expansion into key Western European markets, such as the U.K., France, and Benelux, and entry into further high-potential regions. The proceeds will reinforce Limehome’s position as Europe’s leading next-generation hospitality operator and provide a strong platform for sustained, long-term growth.

Headquartered in London, Cheyne Capital is one of Europe’s leading alternative investment managers with more than €12 billion of assets under management across real estate, corporate credit, and equity strategies. Its corporate private credit group, Cheyne Strategic Value Credit, has a long-standing track record of providing bespoke capital solutions to growing European businesses.

This marks Houlihan Lokey’s second marquee transaction in the alternative accommodation market in the past 12 months, following the sale of Interhome to HomeToGo, and is the team’s fifth Travel deal in 2025, after the sales of Hotelplan Group to DERTOUR, Victoria Travel Group (which owns the Cruise.co brand) to Hays Travel, and Shore Excursions Group to H.I.G. Capital.

It also represents another milestone for Houlihan Lokey’s European Capital Solutions team in 2025, building on successful recent growth financings, including Numan, Attensi, and SecurityHQ.

Houlihan Lokey acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Limehome.
