• Valuations
• Hospitality assets - such as hotels and resorts - are a complex real estate category, with significant land use value supporting or undermining their operational performance. Hotel asset performance is susceptible to greater market fluctuations, location issues, management sophistication and high capital investment, to a much greater degree than other real estate sectors such as office or retail. Hence, the valuation of hospitality assets requires a special market understanding and product expertise. Today, Horwath HTL is a leading industry expert retained by major hotel owners, lenders and operators to optimise their investment returns.

Horwath HTL asset valuations are regarded as independent, expert opinions and a pre-requisite for:

• Owner Representation & Asset Management
• With our team’s experience in hotel ownership, Horwath HTL is uniquely qualified to assist owners in providing asset management, operational analysis and property turn-around advice. Our Owner Representative team assesses the full range of strategic possibilities and will recommend - and implement - the best alternative to position each asset to attain maximum cash flow and return on investment. Our team can provide valuable operational oversight including revenue management, food and beverage enhancements (restaurant and banquet operations), owner relations and reporting, and improved flow-through by implementing operational efficiencies. As the owners' representative, we can provide oversight of the third party management company, and take responsibility for overall performance of the hotel asset.

• Business Recovery
• Almost all businesses experience cash flow or financing issues from time to time due to internal and external factors. External economic factors constantly create new challenges for existing businesses. In a strong market companies need to ensure resources are available to capitalise on greater opportunities - particularly that management can identify new growth areas. While in a contracting market adverse currency movements, rising interest rates, credit restrictions, rapid market changes and new competitors are new factors which can cause financial distress. Companies must be prepared to meet these challenges head on, by detecting the early warning signs and taking immediate action. If you need practical, speedy, and objective advice to help guide you through financial difficulties Horwath HTL can advise on restructuring and turn-around as a preliminary step towards refinancing and/or recapitalisation. We understand the stress associated with financial problems and we will work closely with our clients to reach the best possible outcome. Not only can we identify financing issues but through our feasibility studies we can address operational and market factors which contribute to business distress; devise new business strategies and business plans to map out the road to recovery and offer project management services to bring the business back to a leaner more profitable operation.
