The project is under way at ProsperCap-owned properties, but the report does not name the hotels or say which chargers are already available to guests.

Transport + Energy reported on 20 October 2026 that Roam Charging had secured a contract to install electric-vehicle charging across 14 UK hotels owned by ProsperCap Corporation. The article says work began in September 2026. It describes 170 sockets in total: 158 rated at 22 kW and 12 rapid chargers rated at 50 kW. These are project totals, not a count of chargers confirmed open to visitors.

The report says participating properties include hotels operated under Hilton, IHG and Marriott brands and managed by Valor Hospitality Europe. It does not list the 14 addresses or show how sockets are split between them. A hotel brand appearing in a booking search therefore cannot confirm that a particular property has a working charger.

Roam’s model is described as fully funded by the charging provider, allowing the hotels to avoid significant upfront capital spending. That describes the project funding arrangement; it does not establish that charging will be free for guests. The report gives no site-specific opening dates, tariff, payment method, reservation process or access rules.

The 22 kW and 50 kW figures are charger ratings. They do not promise a particular charging speed for every vehicle or the amount of energy a driver will receive during a stay. Vehicle capability, starting charge, site limits and time connected all matter.

If charging affects your trip, ask the hotel directly whether its bays are installed and available on your dates, who may use them, what the price and payment process are, and whether a space can be reserved. Confirm the connector and any access or parking conditions for your stay. These checks apply to the address you plan to visit, not every hotel under the same brand.
