Hotel Industry Showing Signs of a Strong Comeback

  

 ATLANTA, GA (Sept. 19, 2011) – After a tough 2008 and a brutal 2009, the hotel industry is in the midst of a solid overall comeback, and the sector once again is providing good purchase opportunities for commercial real estate investors.

 That’s the view of guests of this week’s “Commercial Real Estate Show,” which provides an inside look at the recent performance of the hotel and lodging industry.

For year to date through the end of July, the national hotel occupancy rate was above 60 percent and the average room rate was more than$100, said Steve Hennis (top right photo), director of STR Analytics. At the height of the recession, the occupancy rate was 55 percent and the average room rate around $98, he added.

“You can see that we’re gaining a lot of ground but it’s mostly on the occupancy side and not necessarily all that much on the rate yet,” Hennis said.

 R. Mark Woodworth (top left photo), president of Colliers PKF Hospitality Research, seconded Hennis’ positive assessment. “If there’s anything that’s really surprising about where we are today, quite frankly its how quickly demand has been growing,” he said. “We feel very good about the state of the industry.”

 Both Hennis and Woodworth noted the sector’s recovery hasn’t been distributed evenly. The luxury hotel segment has performed particularly well during the past year, while the budget segment has continued to lag, they noted.

The hotel industry is not producing much in the way of new supply, which is helping occupancy rates, Hennis said. New supply is up just 0.8 percent this year, which is well below the long-term average of 1.9 percent a year, he noted.

 Other guests included Andrew Pace (middle right photo), director of development for Hotel Equities, and commercial real estate attorney Dan Weede (bottom left photo), who is the president of the Atlanta Hospitality Alliance. 

The show is available for download here. The show airs Saturday in Atlanta on Biz 1190 at 10am ET and on Talk 920 Sunday at 9am ET.

The next “Commercial Real Estate Show” airs September 24 and will provide an overview of the pressing legal issues facing the commercialreal estate sector, such as foreclosure and bankruptcy, deed in lieu, loan restructures and note sales.

Interstate Hotels & Resorts Enters JV with Netherlands-based TVHG Budget Group Beheer BV




 ARLINGTON, VA., Sept. 19, 2011—Interstate Hotels & Resorts, the United States’ largest independent hotel management company, today announced that the company has entered into a joint venture with TVHG Budget Group Beheer BV (“TVHG”), through its subsidiary TVHG Budget Group Netherlands trading under the name Dutch Hotel Partners, to invest in a portfolio of nine hotels located across the Netherlands. 

Of the nine hotels, one was recently opened, the 112-room Holiday Inn Express Schiphol Airport (top left photo) in Amsterdam, and the remaining eight, anticipated to be open by the end of 2012, will be converted from existing buildings to Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express or Hampton Inn brands.  All nine hotels, comprising approximately 1,800 rooms, will be managed under long-term contracts by Interstate.

“This joint venture marks our entry into the Netherlands and significantly increases our European presence to more than 25 hotels open or in the pipeline,” said Thomas F. Hewitt (middle right photo), Interstate’s chairman and chief executive officer.  “This new alliance illustrates our commitment to aggressive growth in Europe.  We have the infrastructure and an experienced management team in place to oversee our growing portfolio there.”  

 “TVHG is an experienced, highly regarded hotel developer with an impressive record of hotel development and transactions in the Netherlands and elsewhere,” said Jim Abrahamson (lower  left photo), Interstate’s president and COO. 

“For the past few years, they have focused on taking advantage of opportunities in the real estate sector by identifying well located, vacant office buildings that represent attractive hotel conversion opportunities to internationally recognized brands.  Nine of those hotels form the basis of this partnership, and the addition of Interstate’s established management platform to this unique joint venture will help fulfill the promise of that plan.” 

Abrahamson noted the strength of Interstate’s international platform comes from the company’s long and positive relationships with top-quality brands. “This is our first deal with TVHG and we look forward to building on our relationship as we expand in Europe.”

 “Interstate has pioneered the concept of independent hotel management in some of the world’s fastest growing economies and has successfully transplanted that business model to Europe,” said Bart van de Kamp, founder and CEO of TVHG.  “The capabilities they bring, combined with their long, strong track record of superior performance, give us a high degree of confidence in their ability to operate these hotels to their full potential and maximize our returns. With Interstate’s platform and their relationships with top tier brands, we hope to continue our partnership beyond this initial phase in the Netherlands into other markets.”

Several hotels will be located in the Amsterdam area and others in major cities in the Netherlands.  All of the hotels will be situated close to railway stations, airports or along main highways.

 “This transaction marks our renewed emphasis on establishing a major presence in Europe.  We are dedicated to both investment and management in key markets throughout Europe,” said Leslie Ng, Interstate’s chief investment officer.  “With the addition of these nine hotels, we have significantly expanded our footprint in Western Europe and are rapidly moving our international growth strategy forward.  Our global pipeline remains active, and we continue to explore additional opportunities worldwide. We look forward to growing our presence with TVHG as a partner.”

Sizzler Reopens in Lake Forest, CA Saturday, Sept. 17; $3 million renovation creates 100 jobs



TEMECULA, CA.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The first-of-its-kind Sizzler in Orange County will welcome guests Saturday, Sept. 17 after being closed for seven-and-a-half months.

 The $3 million next generation Sizzler at El Toro Road and Raymond Way in Lake Forest was gutted to its studs and expanded to 7,200 square feet to better serve its customers.

“We call this the New Vision or New Generation Sizzler,” said Gary Myers, president of Temecula-based BMW Management, which owns the restaurant. “It is dramatically improved from its predecessor in every way. It represents Sizzler’s future.”

BMW is Sizzler’s largest franchisee with 24 locations across California.

Outside the restaurant, Americana images proudly remind guests of their heritage, while chefs behind the mesquite barbeque grill cook up fresh tri tip all day long. Inside, staff place guests’ orders incorporating a new interactive, yet personal, approach.

The menu includes such specialty items as sweet potato fries, fresh barbeque tri tip platter, tri tip sandwich, French dip, Philly cheese sandwich, fish and chips and fresh fish.

The new Endless Salad Bar is anchored by a demonstration area, where made-from-scratch salads are prepared.

Light and dark contrasting woods collaborate with earthy tones to create a fresh and energetic dining environment. A semi-circular booth, first introduced in Murrieta and Oceanside Sizzlers, will be popular with large families and groups.

During a July job fair, 2,000 people applied for 100 jobs in the Lake Forest Sizzler. The staff has been trained at the New Vision Sizzler in Murrieta, Calif. A rededication ceremony will be held later this month.

The Lake Forest Sizzler will be open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. However, the restaurant will remain open later, when necessary. The location is celebrating its reopening with a Steak Fest special, a six-ounce Sizzler steak with Salad Bar for $10.99.

Legendary Architect Zaha Hadid Chosen to Design Miami Beach Parking Garage at Collins Park



MIAMI BEACH, FL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Architect Zaha Hadid (top right photo) has been chosen by the City of Miami Beach to design its newest parking garage at Collins Park, a neighborhood that’s home to the Miami City Ballet, the Bass Museum, the City Library as well as the Gansevoort, W and Setai luxury hotels.

Collins Park is also just blocks away from the Miami Beach Convention Center (middle left photo), the Frank Gehry-designed New World Center and the popular automobile-free Lincoln Road Mall (middle right photo).

Consistently sought-after, Hadid is the architect of the Aquatic Center for the 2012 London Olympics, the Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center, and has designed major building structures for BMW and around the world in Barcelona, Abu Dhabi and Cardiff, Wales.

Miami Beach’s parking garages have received world-wide media attention and have become tourist attractions themselves.
