  • Hotels Send Mixed Signals for 2017
    Hotels Send Mixed Signals for 2017 hotel-online.com/press_releases/release/hotels-send-mixed-signals-for-2017 by Daniel Lesser NEW YORK CITY—To the surprise of many, the US lodging industry closed out 2016 with operating metrics still at record setting levels; however, its growth trajectory was notably lower when compared to years past. In general, occupancy levels have peaked and any short term RevPAR growth will be driven by increases to ADR. New supply of hotel rooms will continue to occur primarily in the Upper Midscale and Upscale chain scales. Of the nation’s top 25 markets, New York, Seattle, and Denver are experiencing double digit increases of new rooms under construction while eight other markets are currently slated for increases of five to eight percent of existing room supply. The LW Hospitality Advisors (LWHA) 2016 Major US Hotel Sales Survey includes 173 single asset sale transactions over $10 million, none of which are part of a portfolio. These transactions totaled roughly $12.7 billion, and included approximately 42,400 hotel rooms with an average sale price per room of $300,000. By comparison, the LWHA 2015 Major US Hotel Sales Survey identified 200 transactions totaling roughly $14.0 billion including 53,000 hotel rooms with an average sale price per room of nearly $265,000. Comparing 2016 with 2015, the number of trades decreased by 14 percent while total dollar volume declined roughly 9 percent and sales price per room increased by 13 percent. Interesting observations from the LWHA 2016 Major US Hotel Sales Survey include:

  • Cybersecurity Startup Founders in the Greater Washington Region: Prior Experience Required
    Cybersecurity Startup Founders in Greater Washington, DC Prior Experience Required Erran Carmel & Bini Byambasuren, The Center for Business in the Capital Jonathan Aberman, TandemNSI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Greater Washington region is one of three leading cybersecurity industry clusters in the world. The proximity of this region to federal agencies, particularly in national security, has created a vibrant ecosystem linking talent and businesses with federal and commercial customers. National security agencies, such as the National Security Agency and the Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency, are a specific driver of cybersecurity research and development. Collectively, these favorable conditions support a broad array of businesses that contract with the federal government and provide cybersecurity innovations to commercial customers around the world. To better understand the composition of the Greater Washington region’s cybersecurity business base, this study differentiates between the more than 850 cybersecurity businesses in the region identified by us in a prior study that did at least some cybersecurity business and focuses more squarely on those that work only in cybersecurity. We describe these businesses as “pure play” cybersecurity firms. Our study examined the roots of pure-play cybersecurity firms by examining the background of their founders. We collected data on 177 pure-play cyber firms – and their founders – in the Greater Washington region (61% of the firms are in Northern Virginia and the rest in suburban Maryland and Washington D.C.). We believe that our dataset represents close to a census of such firms in this region. In these firms, there are 264 founders (48% of the firms have just one founder).

  • 2007 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview Page 1 of 28
    HVS Hospitality Services : 2007 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview Page 1 of 28 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview HVS Hospitality Services, in cooperation with New York University's Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism, and Sports Management, is pleased to present the tenth annual Manhattan Hotel Market Overview. A slight uptick in Manhattan’s occupancy level in 2006 led to a record high of 85.0%. Despite a virtually stable occupancy, the Manhattan lodging market registered a 13.4% increase in RevPAR compared to 2005, continuing its impressive performance. The market’s RevPAR gain was supported by double-digit growth in average rate each month of the year, with the exception of December, causing year-end 2006 average rate to exceed the 2005 level by 13.2%. The high rates registered by the Manhattan lodging market were caused primarily by continued strong demand levels in 2006, allowing hotel operators to be more selective with lower-rated demand and increasingly boost rates, thereby accommodating greater numbers of higher-rated travelers. We note that the market’s overall occupancy level of 85.0% in 2006 highlights the underlying strength of the Manhattan market, which continued to operate at near-maximum-capacity levels. Because of a further decline in supply in 2006, the market continued to experience many sell-out nights, causing a significant amount of demand to remain unaccommodated. Given the larger-than-ever construction pipeline in Manhattan, a substantial portion of previously unaccommodated demand is expected to be accommodated in the future. Manhattan’s marketwide occupancy and average rate both achieved new record levels in 2006, and we expect the positive trend to continue in 2007.

  • 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.
