About € 50 million has been committed to investment into the existing portfolio of hotels that will help further refine the Eden brand as well as create a new brand of individual hotels , initially by re-imagining some of its own assets . In November , Eden Hotels had a portfolio of 14 hotels across the Netherlands and wants to grow across Europe and the UK .
