  • What Is Happening in the European Hotel Sector?
    What is happening in the European hotel sector? Received: 5 October 2004 Ruth Waite is a research analyst with the London office of HVS International, a leading global firm of hotel real estate advisers and valuers. Russell Kett is Managing Director of the London office of HVS International, which covers Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and each year advises on some 250–300 individual hotels or developments within the Europe, Middle East and Africa region. Abstract The authors are delighted to introduce a series of quarterly papers which aim to observe the latest trends in the key industry sectors. Subjects to be covered in forthcoming issues will be boutique/lifestyle hotels, budget hotels, luxury hotels, mid-market hotels, serviced apartments and timeshare/resort developments. This first paper in the series presents a snapshot of current trends in the market generally concerning values, acquisitions and disposals, funding and development, and includes highlights of recent events from the year so far. Keywords: European RevPAR, hotel values, hotel investment activity, hotel funding trends INTRODUCTION Since the beginning of 2004, the long awaited revenue per available room (RevPAR) growth in Europe has been a gradual and muted affair, but industry experts are at last reporting with more optimism on the progress being made. In the current climate of volume-led recovery, where additional variable costs are associated with servicing more rooms and guests, it is only those hotel markets that are able to increase average rates as well as occupancy that are enjoying marked improvements in revenues. According to Deloitte,1 the majority of countries in Europe have experienced an improvement in occupancy during recent months.
