BARNES Hotels Advisory meets the requirements of hotel owners contemplating the sale of their assets as well as those of investors or operators seeking new properties to supplement their hotel portfolios in Paris or in France’s main cities, as well as in the country, the mountains or by the sea. Our business also has an international reach, in luxury locations where BARNES is established through its 90 offices in 15 countries. Our core target consists of high-end hotels, with either 4 or 5 stars, and luxury hotels.
The high-end hotel market has proven to be buoyant over the long term, with hotel investments in recent years being recognised as an asset class in their own right, just as offices or shopping centres are. The value added by BARNES Hotels Advisory lies in the personal service we bring our clients. This means we give priority to strategic unitary investments, without excluding portfolio sales.
Our offers are outside the major networks - we operate in a niche market, confidential and off-market, which meets the demand expressed by our clients who are looking for unusual opportunities. To do this, BARNES Hotels Advisory has developed its own network over more than 25 years, based specifically on pooling and cross-over between the different services the BARNES entities propose. In addition to sourcing, our expertise is rooted in the organisation, securing, control and confidentiality of the disposal and purchase processes. We work with owner-sellers on exclusive missions, in order to manage communication, while maintaining confidentiality and the off-market nature of the disposal or purchase.
Because valuation is one of the key steps in the sale or purchase of a hotel, we provide a valuation of the goodwill and a diagnosis of its commercial performance, as well as an estimate of the value of the actual hotel envelope (analysis of the history of the building, its size, its structure, extension opportunities, the current lease and its compliance with the regulations in force).
