Why You Need a Hotel Broker
Boutique hotels and hospitality properties do not always sell like other companies. A buyer is not always just pricing your room nights. In most cases, they are pricing your Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR), Average Daily Rate (ADR), franchise Property Improvement Plan (PIP) obligations, and Food & Beverage margins. While generalist brokers often take a standard listing approach, working with an industry-focused advisor typically allows you to highlight your specialized value drivers, navigate technical due diligence, and connect with the most suitable buyers for your business.
Here are some solid reasons why you should consider working with a specialized hospitality and hotel properties broker:
- Broad Buyer Network: We connect you with strategic buyers and private equity groups actively seeking hospitality and hotel properties.
- Strict Confidentiality: We protect your sale with airtight NDAs so employees, clients, and competitors never find out.
- Clear Financial Recasting: We normalize your earnings and owner add-backs so buyers see your company's true cash flow.
- Streamlined Due Diligence: We make diligence effortless using our secure digital deal rooms and automated document tools.
- Smooth Deal Transition: We help transfer operating licenses, equipment assets, and key customer agreements for a smooth closing.
When selling a business in this sector requires specialized M&A support, our M&A advisors bring the expertise needed to structure deals, navigate diligence, and maximize value.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hotels are valued using Capitalization Rates (Cap Rates) on Net Operating Income (NOI), Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) metrics, and comparable sales in that specific lodging submarket.
A PIP is a mandated renovation schedule required by hotel franchisors (Marriott, Hilton, IHG) upon transfer; we help negotiate PIP obligations into the purchase price and closing escrows.
Hospitality deals can be structured as combined real estate + operations sales, or as 'OpCo/PropCo' splits where an operator leases the property from the real estate owner.
We coordinate the state and municipal transfer of liquor and restaurant permits well in advance of closing to ensure food and beverage revenue continues uninterrupted.
High direct booking percentages reduce OTA commission costs (Expedia, Booking.com), increasing net margins and driving higher acquisition values.
