"The company is no longer in discussions with any party in relation to any proposal for a potential sale of the company that the board considers to be deliverable," it said in a brief statement.
Under UK takeover rules, PPHE is no longer in an offer period.
Last month, the company revealed that a proposed £920m takeover by Israel's Fattal Hotel Group had failed due to opposition from its biggest shareholder, Euro Plaza Holdings. The latter has a 33% stake in PPHE.
PPHE announced last November that it was undertaking a strategic review to consider a range of potential options "to maximise value for all shareholders" and that it had appointed Rothschild & Co as its sole financial adviser.
At 1001 BST, the shares were down 10.2% at 1,536p.
