- Targeted presentation to a small number of qualified buyers
- Negotiation, deal structuring and coordination through to completion
Our approach
A hotel is not sold like an ordinary building. Its value depends on its operations, brand, location and potential. We speak the language of owners as well as investors, and we know the operators, the brands and the investment cycles.
Every file is presented selectively, never marketed widely. This discretion protects the value of the property, its staff and its guests throughout the transaction.
Typical assignments
- Sale of the property and business of an independent hotel
- Sale of the property only, with the operator remaining in place
- Acquisition of a hotel to reposition or refurbish
- Site search for an expanding operator
Where we operate
In France, from Bordeaux to the Basque Country, Paris and the main tourist destinations. In Spain, with a partner dedicated to the Spanish market. Across Europe, notably Italy and Portugal, and for international investors.
Frequently asked questions
How can I sell a hotel discreetly?
We never publish listings. The file is presented to a small number of qualified buyers after they sign a non-disclosure agreement. Your staff and guests are not informed until you decide.
Should the property and the business be sold together?
Not necessarily. Depending on your situation, you can sell the whole, the property only or the business only. We review the most favourable option with you and your advisers.
How long does a hotel sale take?
It depends on the asset, the market and how well the file is prepared. A hotel sale is usually prepared over several months. We give you a realistic estimate at the first meeting.
Do you work with foreign buyers?
Yes. We advise international investors wishing to acquire a hotel in France or Spain, as well as clients investing abroad.
Who pays the fees?
The party paying the fees and the amount are set out in the mandate, in line with our published fee schedule. Fees are only due once the transaction has actually been completed.
A conversation, in full confidence.
Before any formal engagement, let's take the time to talk. We listen to your strategy, ask the right questions and only move forward if the mandate makes sense for both of us.
