Soon after Geolo Capital purchased a majority interest in the Joie de Vivre boutique hotel chain. In October 2011, Geolo Capital merged the 30 hotel Joie de Vivre chain with the 12 hotel Thompson Hotel Group to form Commune Hotels & Resorts. In 2012, Commune operated 46 hotels which generated $450 million in revenues. In January 2016, Commune Hotels merged with Destination Hotels, to form Two Roads Hospitality. With that merger the new company has over 97 hotels across six brands and annual revenues of over $2.3 billion. In November of 2018 Two Roads Hospitality closed on its sale to Hyatt Corporation for a reported price of $480 million.
