  • Why the Eternal City Could Become the Next Hotspot for Luxury Hotels
    FEBRUARY 2015 | PRICE £350 IN FOCUS: ROME WHY THE ETERNAL CITY COULD BECOME THE NEXT HOTSPOT FOR LUXURY HOTELS Christof Bertschi Senior Associate Sophie Perret Director www.hvs.com HVS London | 7-10 Chandos Street, Cavendish Square, London W1G 9DQ, UK ‘Why should luxury travellers pay less for a hotel in Rome than in London, Paris or New York? We have the same guests here...,’ a General Manager of a luxury hotel in Rome asked me recently during an interview. His remark poses an interesting question: why are luxury hotels in Rome not able to charge similar rates as those in London or Paris, when they supposedly attract a similar clientele? A comparison with other European gateway cities illustrates that the business mix of the hotels in Rome is actually slightly different to that of London and Paris. Whilst the latter are not only tourism hot spots but also global business hubs, Rome’s client mix is more leisure and government focused. Although Rome is the political centre of Italy and benefits from demand generated from embassy and government-related events, Italy’s business powerhouse remains in the north in the area around Milan. As a must-see destination for every leisure traveller, Rome enjoys high popularity, but the city does not have the same status and perception as a luxury shopping and lifestyle destination such as London, Paris, Milan, Venice or the French Riviera. Additionally, supply related factors, such as underinvestment and a lower number of international luxury hotel brands, have so far prevented the Rome luxury hotel market from reaching comparable room rates with these other destinations.
