As an owner/operator, an investor or a lender, you will be very familiar with the unpredictable nature and the unique challenges of the hotel industry. Our hotel experts are here to advise you through the life cycle of your hotel. Your goals are our goals – and in an industry vulnerable to fluctuations in economic fortune and international turmoil, trusted expert financial advice is crucial.

As an owner, how you structure your operations is just as important as how and why you manage them – whether as an investment or because the hotel industry is your passion.

As an investor, understanding the return on your hotel assets is vital, as is ensuring you have the ideal team to operate them for you.  

If you are a lender, while the debt is secured on a high value asset, you still need confidence that the hotel operations are viable and the management team is strong.

All of these unique requirements in the hotel industry mean that you need access to committed specialists who are well positioned to support you. 

Specialist expertise

Hotel businesses rely on our advice for accurate financial reporting, statutory audit and independent operational insight. Our tax experts understand the importance of compliance and beyond and we can help you if you are looking for external finance or are buying or selling a hotel business.

If the unexpected arises and operations start to suffer, our restructuring team can assist with impartial and in-depth business assessments and practical proposals on turnaround strategies.

From concept development to eventual sale, our hotel consulting experts are trusted leaders in their field. We support people and organisations with some of the biggest ambitions – and the biggest brands – in the business.
