  1. Chapter 11 Forces Shaping the Hotel Business

  2. FORCES SHAPING THE HOTEL BUSINESS • How hotels get built • Where the money comes from • The hotel business cycle • The role of real estate in the business • Asset management

  3. THE ECONOMICS OF THE HOTEL BUSINESS When hotels are in the planning stages, developers must consider: • Available financing (can be difficult) • Lifespan of the hotel (30–40 years) • Length of construction phase (<1 year to >3 years) • How supply and demand will change over time

  4. THE ECONOMICS OF THE HOTEL BUSINESS • Not all hotels that are planned are actually built • Only 25 percent of all hotels that were planned (between 1994 and 2002) were actually built • One primary reasons that hotels do not get built is due to lack of financing • Hotels are a capital intensive business and can cost hundreds of millions of dollars to build

  5. THE ECONOMICS OF THE HOTEL BUSINESS • HVS conducts a Hotel Development Cost Survey each year to determine the construction costs of different types of hotels: • Budget/Economy hotels – $53,000 per room • Full service hotels – $166,000 per room • Luxury hotels – $516,000 per room • Source: HVS

  6. CLASS EXERCISE • Determine the cost to build a hotel in each classification based upon Economy hotels with 120 rooms, Full service hotels with 300 rooms, and Luxury hotels with 400 rooms • Determine the average annual revenue based on average occupancy rates and average daily rates

  7. THE ECONOMICS OF THE HOTEL BUSINESS • Hotel construction times can range from about one year to close to three years • As a result, markets can change during this construction period and new hotel constructions can occur • Also, complications can occur such as environmental concerns, historic regulations, and development issues • Example: Vieux Carre Commission

  8. CONSTRUCTION TIMES • Economy hotels – 407 days • Midscale without F & B – 479 days • Midscale with F & B – 553 days • Upscale – 655 days • Upper Scale – 994 days • All hotels – 578 days

  9. HOTEL CYCLES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE • The hotel business moves in cycles as a result of the economy, supply and demand • The economy is affected by interest rates, consumer prices, trade, consumer confidence, etc. • Supply is the number of hotel rooms available

  10. HOTEL CYCLES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE • Supply rarely equals demand • Hotels overbuilt in the 1980s • Experienced a recession in the 1990s • Experienced September 11th • Experienced a 20 % drop in profits in 2001 and a 10% drop in profits in 2002 • Now, the industry is just beginning to recover

  11. OCCUPANCY RATES • 1999 – 63.1 % • 2000 – 63.7 % • 2001 – 60.3 % • 2002 – 59.1% (lowest in 31 years) • 2003 – 59.2 % • 2004 – 61.3 % • 2005 – 63.1 % • 2006 – 64.4 % (projected)

  12. HOTELS AS REAL ESTATE • The hotel industry is often seen as being two separate industries: (1) Sale of rooms; and (2) Real estate • Often times, one company will own the building and another will manage it for them (for example, Host Marriott) • Investors are often attracted to hotels as a real estate investment

  13. SECURITIZATION • Securitization refers to the influx of funds from various sources (debt or equity) • For many years, the money that was used to build hotels was borrowed from banks and insurance companies • Now, much of it comes from “conduit” lenders, REITs, private investment companies and public markets

  14. DIMESIONS OF THE HOTEL INVESTMENT DECISION The investment decision has three dimensions (1) financing; (2) real estate values and; (3) operations. • The financial decision involves deciding who will own and develop the property, how money will be raised, and interest rates and inflation • Real estate concerns itself with the prospects for increased valuation

  15. DIMESIONS OF THE HOTEL INVESTMENT DECISION • Operations concerns who will actually manage the hotel: the owner or a management group. • Management groups (such as Marriott) will often enter into long term contracts based on a management fee to be received • Fees may be based on sales or operating profit

  16. ASSET MANAGEMENT • Hotels represent assets to its owners – in the form of land, building, contents and profit streams • Some owners will hire asset managers who specialize in hotels to monitor the evaluation of the management of the hotel • They are often used by owners of more upscale properties
