TPG completes $1.1 billion purchase of Sabre's hospitality sector division
## Sabre Hospitality Solutions Acquired by TPG for $1.1 Billion
In a significant move for the hospitality technology sector, TPG, a global alternative asset management firm, has completed the acquisition of Sabre Hospitality Solutions from Sabre Corporation. The deal, valued at $1.1 billion, saw Sabre receive net proceeds of $960 million after taxes and fees.
The transaction, announced on July 7, 2025, marks the official separation of Hospitality Solutions from Sabre, with the latter now operating as an independent company headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas.
## New Leadership and Strategic Partnerships
With the acquisition, Hospitality Solutions has appointed Teresa Mackintosh as its new Chief Executive Officer. Mackintosh, who previously held senior roles at Wolters Kluwer and Thomson Reuters, most notably served as CEO and executive chair of Trintech. Her appointment signals a focus on driving innovation and growth in the hospitality technology sector.
Hospitality Solutions has also secured a strategic minority investment from MCR, one of the largest hotel operators in the U.S. MCR’s Chairman and CEO, Tyler Morse, will join the company’s Board of Directors as Vice Chairman, further aligning the company’s strategy with industry needs.
## Expanded Offerings and Market Reach
Since its 2005 acquisition of SynXis, Sabre Hospitality Solutions has expanded its platform significantly. In 2022, the company added the guest engagement platform Nuvola, and in 2023, it welcomed hotel e-commerce provider Techsembly. The acquisition by TPG will enable Hospitality Solutions to accelerate innovation, expand its product offerings, and deepen its relationships with global hotel brands, serving more than 40% of the world’s leading hotel brands.
## Focus on Digital Transformation and Growth
As a newly independent entity, Hospitality Solutions will operate under the leadership of Teresa Mackintosh, with strategic support from TPG and MCR. The company aims to shape the future of hospitality technology, focusing on digital transformation, innovation, and operational excellence. The involvement of MCR as both an investor and a board member is expected to provide valuable industry insights and operational expertise.
## Benefits for Sabre Corporation
