MARKET OUTLOOK
Hotel development and investment experts discuss changes in guest preferences, the influence of technology and online booking sites, the financial side of the business, and other trends.
A new generation of consumers is driving the continued emergence of the boutique brand. You continue to see that with Marriott’s Autograph Collection and Hilton’s Curio Collection. Even the independent brands, such as SLS Hotels, Ace Hotels, Thompson Hotels, and James Hotels, are trying to become more like boutiques. Owners are questioning whether they need to pay for a big brand, because customers are now less willing to pay for the luxury that some of the big brands have traditionally offered. Young people don’t want the turn-down and concierge services anymore. They’re looking for a certain kind of atmosphere and sleekness that they get with boutique hotels.
People’s propensity to travel is changing around the globe, with a rapidly expanding middle class that over the last two decades has gone from a billion to 2 billion people and is expected to go to 5 billion by around 2030. Over the last two decades, the number of cross-border travelers has doubled—and that number is expected to almost double again over the next two decades. So, we have to think more about what those travelers expect from us, culturally, when they arrive at our hotel. Also, in the United States, there are nearly 16 hotel rooms per every 1,000 people; in places like China and Brazil, there is roughly one per 1,000. So we are focusing our growth globally to match up with this heightened demand.
Construction finance is back for some projects. In the lodging sector, it started in the limited- and select-service hotels, likely because they are generally a less risky proposition—they take somewhere between 18 and 24 months to build, have minimal costs, and were financed primarily by regional or relationship banks. Eventually, the national lenders started to make capital available for good sponsors in strong markets. We are starting to see a pickup in the luxury segment as well, mainly in urban areas, and most projects have a residential component. The luxury side came back faster than most people anticipated. Last year, about 80 percent of our builds were select-service hotels, and about 65 percent were renovations or repositionings. This year, we’re at about 60 percent select-service, 40 percent full-service or luxury, and more than half of them are new builds. That’s how quickly the market has transformed.
