UK boasts buoyant hotel investment market

The UK’s continues to dominate the hotel investment market in Western Europe as investment volume in 2012 reached €2.5bn.

Even though the markets in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK suffered a combined 5% drop on 2011, the UK remained the most buoyant.

In the second half of 2012 the UK dominated the hotel investment market at 41% of overall investment amongst the top-five markets.

Analysis from BNP Paribas suggested the market is running at “two speeds” - an investor focus on prime hotel assets and poorly performing hotels that find no buyers.

Spanish and Italian hotels’ performances deteriorated over 2012, while France showed some resilience.
