Drees & Sommer takes a holistic approach to consulting when supporting investors and developers with the realization of their hotel projects. The hospitality team supports projects from the very beginning, with services including validation of hotel locations, valuation of hotel properties, selection of operators complete with lease/rental and management contract negotiations, and construction consulting and planning.

Massive changes in lifestyles and user behavior have an impact on hotel properties. Challenges can include excessive operating costs, declining rental income, limited functionality of the established building and an outdated hotel and room concept. Also, regular technical and energy efficiency upgrades are necessary to simply maintain the value of the property. In addition to which, property owners must meet climate goals and ESG requirements.

With a clear focus on the operators and guests and their needs, we identify possible structural and conceptual improvements to your hotel property and support you during implementation – ensuring that the best years for your property still lie ahead.
