Hotel property services
Check in with our hotel experts
Hotels are more than places to stay – they’re experiences, investments, and evolving spaces that respond to changing guest needs and market dynamics. At Avison Young, we support clients through every chapter of the journey, from concept and construction to operations and repositioning. Our Hotels team works closely with in-house specialists across planning, valuation, agency, and building consultancy to deliver joined-up thinking and tailored advice. Whether you're shaping a new destination or reimagining an existing one, we help your hotel to fulfil its potential.
What we can offer
We help hotel owners and investors make smarter decisions – with joined-up advice that spans operations, planning, and performance. Our experts provide expert advice and support throughout the hotel lifecycle - from single properties to national portfolios.
Agency and investment services
Hotel building consultancy services
Our experienced building surveyors identify technical issues that could affect your hotel investment and deliver practical solutions that protect value. Our cross-disciplinary team assesses building structure, services, finishes, FF&E and external areas. We also conduct environmental assessments covering contamination and flood risk so fund managers, investors, developers and owner-occupiers get a complete technical overview that informs their decisions.
Business rates advice
Business rates represent a significant cost for hotel operators but we help minimise these liabilities through technical expertise and detailed operational analysis. Our experts examine trading patterns and cost profiles to achieve the lowest possible valuation for your asset. We work across all segments - single property or portfolio, from high-end and country house hotels to budget urban properties - supporting management companies, owners and operators UK-wide.
Hotel advisory services
Hotel developers, investors and operators turn to us for integrated advisory services - from initial feasibility studies through to performance monitoring. Last year, we advised on 35% of all UK branded hotels developed under management or franchise agreements. Our work spans development studies, commercial negotiations, operator selection, asset management, funding advice and acquisition due diligence for private and public sector clients.
Hotel planning experts
We work with hotel developers to navigate the planning process from appraisal to approval. We coordinate sub-consultant reports, manage application preparation and negotiate with planning authorities. Our specialists handle planning appraisals, history research, applications and appeals, expert witness services, enforcement notices and caravan park licensing. Even in challenging locations, our applications achieve success through sector expertise and local knowledge.
Project management services
From concept to completion, whether new build, refurbishment or repairs, our project management experts assemble project teams, advise on design, manage procurement and select contractors. Specialists facilitate negotiations between owners, developers and operators, ensuring alignment and seamless delivery. We administer construction contracts as Employer's Agent or Contract Administrator, meeting every obligation without compromising standards.
Hotel valuations
We provide property valuations covering loan security, balance sheet, acquisition, expert witness and development purposes, applying technical expertise and market knowledge to deliver accurate assessments. Client collaboration from the outset ensures reports align with business needs and clients have clear understanding. Our RICS registered valuers work on agency assignments, collaborating with in-house analysts to ensure valuations are expertly data-backed.
Additional leisure property services
Our broader leisure team works across the broader sector - from golf courses and marinas to stadiums and entertainment venues. We understand that valuing a golf course or conducting due diligence on a stadium requires specialist knowledge. Backed by over 30 years' experience and industry-leading insight, our UK-wide team provides planning applications, vendor surveys, project monitoring and acquisition advice tailored to each asset type.
