In these challenging times, relying solely on national or international hotel market trends can produce an inaccurate or unfavorable picture. Changing markets and variances in neighborhood and real estate values can cause fluctuations in how a hotel is valued. Hotel owners and potential owners must be able to plan with confidence when investing in hotel real estate, and the most up-to-date and precise information is necessary. That’s why we create an appraisal or feasibility report based on the unique potential for your hotel and data from your specific market – specifics essential to establishing accurate value.

Our database of hotel information – the largest in the world – combined with our broad insight and extensive experience, enables HVS Consulting & Valuation Services to produce well-documented appraisal reports with fully supported value conclusions to hold up under intense scrutiny and achieve their intended results. We have access to thousands of management agreements, franchise contracts, leases, mortgages and other related financial documents, allowing our team to provide thorough documentation for our conclusions.

• Whether you are an owner, developer, operator, investor, lender, industry association, convention and visitor bureau or public agency, your project will attract the immediate attention it deserves when accompanied by an HVS consulting report.
• We advise in the development of new hotels, and work with developers, architects and other development team members to conceptualize the optimal lodging product for a particular site.
• Our services include expert reviews of property tax assessments tailored to the hotel industry. An accurate, up-to-date valuation of a hotel's real property assessment takes current market conditions into account to help you make reductions in this costly expense category. Tax assessors may call on HVS in revaluation years to establish accurate, thorough assessments that lead to fewer appeals.
• Our professional staff of consulting and valuation associates has extensive experience in providing expert analysis and testimony on a wide variety of topics from damages and management competency, to contracts and agreements and hotel industry standards.
• We continuously monitor every major hotel market and track the latest economic trends.
• Our writings, teachings and innovative research demonstrate our internationally acknowledged expertise; we have published more than 500 articles in leading hotel journals and periodicals.
• The unique needs of each client are met because we structure our assignments to meet your timing needs and other requirements. We stand alone in our support for investors and operators both who are new to this marketplace and to those who have vast experience in hospitality.
