Through our experience in development consulting, origination, operator selection, debt and capital markets and agency, we have a strong network of contacts, partners and consultants across EMEA with whom we diligently work to address our clients' specific requirements.
We are experienced in hotels, hybrid-hotels, hostels, resorts, serviced-apartments, branded-residences, co-living and purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA). We are equally comfortable looking at the smallest restaurants-with-rooms around the UK coastline, as we are at the largest luxury hotels in the most affluent European city-centre locations. We also apply our transferable expertise to operational healthcare investment on behalf of a small selection of clients.

Having acted for clients in both buy-side and sell-side roles, we can provide the full array of feasibility studies addressing single-asset and portfolio value-add acquisition business-plans, repositionings, and defensive and offensive ROI-based initiatives. We can often quickly assess the viability of both greenfield development and conversion opportunities.
Our conclusions and recommendations are supported by our dynamic engagement across the investment universe and primary research and data intelligence from within the respective jurisdictions and micro-markets.
Our experience of reporting to both equity investors and the full capital stack of lenders in each asset class enables us to identify, analyse and comment on the significance of the key drivers in the eyes of each type of stakeholder and counter-party to a proposed transaction.
We routinely look at macro-forces before focusing on more localised and statutory factors. Recognising the attributes of the asset or assets, the underlying demand and supply fundamentals affecting topline KPIs, and any current or potential future cost pressures impacting profit conversion. Augmenting the knowledge of our experienced network, we also draw our intelligence in real time from a range of data sources.
Some of our clients are established operators whilst others are relatively new to the market. We can provide tailored solutions-based assistance to investors and potential investors into our asset-class specialisations.
Working with other professional advisors we can contribute to optimising operational investment structures, identify the most efficient renovation and development strategies or recommend options that help shape pressing and longer term organisational and capital-intensive issues.
If you represent a family office or are institutional capital, considering a sale, or wishing to enter a specific market, we can provide a personalised service - either gaining you maximum exposure or maintaining absolute confidentiality.
Our previous work with European, US and international investors, agents and consultants may enable us to make a simple introduction to a potential partner or complete a work-stream that enhances your returns, increases the range of options available to you, or improves your position generally.
For core and core plus investors, our deep understanding of operating markets and hotel management accounts enables us to underwrite opportunities with more comprehensive cashflows that improve visibility and bring added certainty.
