Global investment firm Carlyle has announced a $400 million financing through its Global Credit platform to support TPG's acquisition of Sabre Corporation’s Hospitality Solutions business. This transaction, valued at $1.1 billion, establishes Hospitality Solutions as an independent entity within the hospitality technology sector.
Hospitality Solutions provides software services to over 40% of the world's top hotel brands, offering a SaaS-based platform that serves as a comprehensive system for reservation and guest information management. This enables hotels to operate more efficiently.
The financing from Carlyle will aid TPG in growing the newly independent company, focusing on product development and expanding its global customer base. "We’re proud to support TPG in establishing Hospitality Solutions as an independent technology leader with a strong foundation and clear path for growth," said Kunal Gulati, Deputy Chief Investment Officer of Carlyle Direct Lending. He added that the transaction demonstrates Carlyle's ability to provide large-scale capital solutions for strategic transformations.
Carlyle’s Global Credit platform manages assets worth $199 billion as of March 31, 2025, and invests in privately negotiated debt and capital solutions alongside reputable sponsors and companies.
Carlyle operates across three segments: Global Private Equity, Global Credit, and Carlyle AlpInvest, managing $453 billion in assets as of March 31, 2025. The firm aims to invest wisely while creating value for investors and communities globally.
