The Algonquin Hotel, 59 W. 44 St. New York, NY 10036 Dubbed the “Crown Prince of New York Cabaret” many years ago, Steve Ross hasn’t lost his title. He was born “forty- five minutes from Broadway” in New Rochelle, and was raised in Washington, DC with an opera-loving father and a mother who played on the piano the songs of Gershwin, Porter and Irving Berlin. His first major job was as a successful singer/pianist at Ted Hook’s Backstage. In 1981, he re-opened the legendary Oak Room at The Algonquin Hotel where he held forth off and on for years. An articulate man with a keen knowledge of the Great American Songbook, Steve has hosted radio series and outdoor concerts.

  • 2005 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview Page 1 of 22
    HVS International : 2005 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview Page 1 of 22 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview HVS International, in cooperation with New York University’s Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism, and Sports Management, is pleased to present the eighth annual Manhattan Hotel Market Overview. In 2004, the Manhattan lodging market experienced an impressive recovery, with a RevPAR increase of 22% compared to 2003. From March through December of 2004, the market recorded double-digit growth in RevPAR each month, ranging from a high of 41% in April to a low of roundly 17% in October. At 83.2%, overall occupancy reached close to the historical peak achieved in 2000 (at 83.7%) while marketwide average rate was less than 10% below the 2000 level. Occupancy and average rate in 2005 should surpass 2000 levels. Due to limited new supply and increased compression resulting from near-maximum-capacity occupancy levels, overall RevPAR will experience double-digit growth for the next few years. Based on an overall improved economic climate, strong barriers to entry, limited new supply, and increased compression, we forecast the Manhattan lodging market to achieve a robust ±17% RevPAR growth in 2005. HVS International HVS International is a global consulting and services organization focused on the hotel, restaurant, timeshare, gaming, and leisure industries. Its clients rely on the firm’s specialized industry knowledge and expertise for advice and services geared to enhance economic returns and asset value. Through a network of 23 offices staffed by more than 200 seasoned industry professionals, HVS offers a wide scope of services that track the development/ownership process.

  • Manhattan Hotel Market Overview 1
    Manhattan Hotel Market Overview HVS Global Hospitality Services, in cooperation with New York University’s Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism, and Sports Management, is pleased to present the eleventh annual Manhattan Hotel Market Overview. Stephen Rushmore President & Founder, HVS Global Hospitality Services In 2007, Manhattan was once again the Number One U.S. lodging market in terms of RevPAR performance. For the fourth consecutive year, RevPAR recorded double-digit growth in 2007, climbing 14.3%, indicative of the continued strength of the Manhattan lodging market. At roundly 87%, occupancy reached its highest level since 1987. This high occupancy also suggests a significant amount of unaccommodated demand in Manhattan, which is expected to be accommodated by the vast number of new hotels proposed for the city in the next three to four years. Considering the current climate, HVS forecasts a soft landing for the Manhattan market, with minor declines in occupancy and softer average rate growth in the near term. In 2007, the volume of hotel sales in Manhattan soared to over $2.0 billion, excluding the sale of the Hilton New York and the Waldorf=Astoria as part of the Hilton acquisition by Blackstone. This volume was driven by the emergence of overseas players such as Istithmar Hotels, which set a new record through the transfer of interest in the Mandarin Oriental for roundly $1.4 million per key in February 2007. Overall, we anticipate that overseas hotel companies will capitalize on the weak dollar to further establish or expand their presence in the U.S., causing hotel values to remain strong.

  • Historic Hotels Find Ways to Build a Competitive Advantage
    HVS International, Mineola, New York Matthew D. Melville, Consulting and Valuation Analyst 1 Branding with History: Historic Hotels Find Ways to Build a Competitive Advantage In a time of increasingly sophisticated hotel design, strong demand exists for select properties with a unique feature that new-builds aren’t able to draw into blueprints: a past. Owners and operators of historic properties have become more creative in their efforts to develop and maintain long-lasting competitive advantages for their properties. No single asset may have more marketing value to a historic hotel than its history. Historic Hotels of America, a division of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, was developed in 1989 in an effort to showcase and market historic properties to a growing audience of preservationists and history buffs. It also raises awareness of what can be lost in communities if these hotels are not restored or preserved. For independent properties, this of type marketing alliance may be the best defense against those properties with nationally recognized brand affiliations. In some sense, the lack of branding may be a blessing and a curse for historic, independent properties: while they can be more creative in their effort to showcase a hotel’s past, they may suffer without the benefits of an integrated reservations system. In any case, growing interest in historic hotels is apparent; this article will compare the operating performance of a selection of historic hotels to nationwide hotel operating performance, describe why guests choose historic hotel properties, and suggest how hotel owners, operators, and developers can benefit from a growing interest in historic hotels.
