LONDON – March 30, 2021 – H.I.G. Capital, LLC (“H.I.G.”), a leading global alternative investment firm with over €36 billion of equity capital under management, announced today that an affiliate has recently completed an investment in Hotel Ullensvang, a 170-key upscale waterside resort located in Norway’s Hardangerfjord.
