  • Hvs Guide to Hotel Management Contracts 2020 Edtion Includes 2019 Survey Results
    Superior Results Through Unrivaled Hospitality Intelligence. Everywhere. OCTOBER 2020 EXCERPT USA | EUROPE | APAC HVS GUIDE TO HOTEL MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS 2020 EDTION INCLUDES 2019 SURVEY RESULTS Daniel J Voellm, MRICS Managing Partner, HVS Asia Pacific Eunice Wong Senior Analyst Level 7, Nan Fung Tower 88 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong HVS.com Foreword Why is this guide more relevant than ever? Among all the many peculiarities of the hotel industry, the hotel management contract is likely the most unique. A binding contract between owners and operators which has evolved over almost six decades. In fact, the first hotel management contract was signed for the Hong Kong Hilton, which opened in 1963. The management contract structure allowed hotel companies to expand rapidly and become what is nowadays known as “asset light”. Of course, hotel owners stand to benefit in that they can bring in sound management expertise to their property and partake in the financial upside, unlike a traditional lease model which preceded it. Leveraging their management expertise, operators pushed for the hotel management contract to rapidly become the norm in the industry as a ‘take it or leave it’ proposition to owners. Over time, the hotel management contract has become an intricate web of terms and clauses that defines the relation between owner and operator. The balance of power in this relationship needs to be carefully established, which was, and unfortunately still is, not always a given. Owners need to be on their toes and bring in expert advice from consultants and lawyers to navigate the complexities of an agreement which can bind them for decades to come.
