Frequently asked questions

Selling a hotel: your questions

Should the property and the business be sold together or separately?

A combined sale simplifies the handover and attracts investor-operators; selling them separately widens the pool of buyers. The choice depends on price, tax and your plans.

Can a hotel be sold in complete confidentiality?

Yes, off-market: the hotel is presented only to qualified buyers who have signed a confidentiality agreement.

Can a hotel that is closed, in need of renovation or non-compliant be sold?

Yes. The valuation factors in the works and compliance upgrades, and the search targets operators able to take them on.

What happens to the employees when the business is sold?

Their contracts transfer to the buyer. In businesses with fewer than 250 employees, they must be informed before the sale.
