  • HVS Asia-Pacific Hotel Operator Guide Excerpt 2016
    2016 EDITION | Price US$800 SUMMARY THE ANNUAL HVS ASIA-PACIFIC HOTEL OPERATOR GUIDE (AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2015) Setthawat Hetrakul Assistant Manager Daniel J Voellm Managing Partner HVS.com HVS | Level 21, The Centre, 99 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong The HVS Asia-Pacific Hotel Operator Guide 2016 Foreword It is with great pleasure that I share with you our third annual Asia-Pacific Operator Guide, data as of 31 December 2015. This third edition will continue to serve owners as a reference for which operator has a strong presence in their home market and in potential future markets further ashore as well as key feeder markets across the region. With China rapidly becoming a strong outbound market, brands and operators that are well positioned there are better positioned to welcome Chinese travelers overseas. Branding, anchored by the management expertise and distribution power that operators bring to a hotel property, is becoming more and more critical. In the face of increasing competition, non-branded properties often perform at a discount to their branded peers due to lack of awareness and quality assurance. Running a hotel is no easy task and owners have a tendency to view operators’ fees as unjustified for the value they deliver. It is essential that owner and operator align their interest from very early in the process and work towards a common goal, rather than start their long-term relationship from conflicting standpoints. In this third edition, we have captured close to one million existing and more than half a million pipeline rooms spread over 6,546 properties.

  • Accor Announces a Major Real Estate Transaction in the Budget Segment in France, with the Sale of 158 Hotelf1 Properties for €272 Million
    Press Release Paris - September 22, 2009 Accor announces a major real estate transaction in the Budget segment in France, with the sale of 158 hotelF1 properties for €272 million In line with its ongoing asset-right strategy, Accor today announced a major real estate transaction in the Budget segment in France, with the sale of 158 hotelF1 properties, representing a total of 12,300 rooms. Accor pioneered the low-cost hotel concept in France, opening the first Formule 1 hotel in 1984 and introducing particularly innovative construction and management techniques. Formule 1, renamed hotelF1 in 2007, is the entry-level hotel brand of Accor Group in France with an average room rate of around €33. Following the sale, Accor will continue to operate the 158 hotels under the hotelF1 brand, thereby retaining full control on pricing policy and product innovation process, which are essential to ensuring the brand’s sustainability. Since the end of 2008, about a hundred properties have been renovated as part of a vast refurbishment program, which includes the new Duo room concept (2 twin beds). The new offer is designed not only to consolidate the brand’s core base, but also to attract new customers. This sale and variable leaseback transaction was carried out with a consortium of leading French institutional investors through a property investment trust (OPCI). With the sale of the hotel units for €272 million, Accor signed a 12-year business lease, renewable six times at Accor’s option. The variable rents are based on an average 20% of revenue with no guaranteed minimum.
