Buy a hotel
Purchase of hotels of world brands - Marriott, Accor, IHG, Hyatt, Hilton, Radisson, Kempinski, Rosewood, Mandarin Oriental, Four Seasons, Aman Resorts with a yield of 10% per annum
At the same time, the majority of affluent tourists prefer staying in branded, well-recognized, and fully equipped hotels that offer an expected level of service. These hotels generate more than twice the revenue per square meter compared to properties rented out by private owners or independent hotels. This is primarily achieved through higher occupancy rates in branded hotels.
Thus, for institutional investors looking to invest over $30,000,000, acquiring hotels under renowned international brands—such as Marriott, Accor, IHG, Hyatt, Hilton, Radisson, Kempinski, Rosewood, Mandarin Oriental, Four Seasons, and Aman Resorts, along with their sub-brands—offers greater profitability, stability, and long-term value.
Return on investment and investment volume
The average return on investment (ROI) for a hotel is around 10% per year. At first glance, a 10% annual return may seem less impressive compared to aggressive investment strategies promising X2 or X10. However, when investing tens of millions of dollars, reliability and predictable cash flow become top priorities.
A $30,000,000 hotel, operated under a renowned international brand such as Hyatt, Hilton, Marriott, Accor, or IHG, is a high-value asset that offers several key advantages:
Stable and Predictable Income Unlike high-risk assets such as cryptocurrencies or speculative ventures, hotels generate a steady cash flow driven by real demand. Rooms are continuously occupied by tourists, business travelers, and corporate clients, supported by:
✅ Travel agencies
✅ Tour operators
✅ OTA platforms (Online Travel Agencies)
✅ The hotel brand’s own loyalty program
This ensures consistent revenue streams. Even during economic downturns, high-quality real estate remains in demand. The hotel industry adapts flexibly to fluctuations:
- High season: Higher room rates maximize profitability.
- Low season: Flexible pricing and loyalty programs attract guests.
This hedges risks and protects large capital investments.
Prestige and Influence Owning a branded hotel is not just an investment; it's a prestige asset. Such properties enhance the business reputation of the owner and open doors to international partnerships and opportunities.
Capital Appreciation and Inflation Protection Unlike cash-based assets that depreciate over time, hotel real estate appreciates in value. Increasing tourist flows, infrastructure development, and rising demand for premium hospitality services drive up property prices.
Passive Income with Professional ManagementBy investing $10,000,000 - $30,000,000 in a hotel, an investor acquires a fully operational business managed by a professional hospitality network. Operations, marketing, guest services, and financial management are handled by the hotel operator, ensuring passive income with minimal involvement.
Why Invest in a Hotel Instead of Other Businesses?📌 Restaurants require constant oversight and hands-on management.
📌 Shopping malls depend on tenants’ financial stability, which fluctuates.
📌 Office real estate requires long-term lease agreements, and vacancies can result in losses.
✅ Hotels generate revenue daily and operate 24/7, benefiting from multiple B2B and B2C sales channels.
Thus, investing in a premium hotel is a secure, long-term strategy that ensures steady income while increasing the capital value of the owner’s assets.
