The Team
Hotels are easily the most complex asset class in real estate. That’s why it’s surprising that oftentimes deals are handled by generalist brokers who have little knowledge of the operational reality of hotels or the regulations involved.
We’re here to change that process. At The Hotell, we don’t just look at the real estate; we know exactly what is required to turn a building into a profitable hotel business. We have helped leading operators, family offices, and investors navigate the complete process of acquiring and operating unique assets across Europe.

Legal Counsel | Market-Specific Compliance
Navigating the legal landscape of Southern Europe requires local precision, not general oversight. We deploy a vetted network of jurisdiction-specific experts.

Advisory & Private Access
For investors requiring proactive market coverage and operational validation, we offer bespoke strategic services.
Search Mandates
For precise requirements, we look beyond the open market. Through an exclusive Search Mandate, we actively search specific regions on your behalf, to unlock off-market assets that fit your criteria but are not publicly for sale.
Commercial Underwriting & Strategy
Before you acquire, you must validate the potential. We build the future business case of the hotel - providing deep commercial underwriting, concept strategy, and operational forecasting. We provide the operational reality, empowering your financial team to complete due diligence with clarity.
Operational & Technical Execution
Vision requires a team to build it. To support post-acquisition success, we facilitate direct access to our ecosystem. Whether you need to execute a renovation or install a new operator, we connect you with vetted local construction teams and top-tier management companies to ensure the asset performs from day one.
