Drees & Sommer Switzerland takes a holistic approach to consulting when supporting investors and developers with the realization of their hotel projects. The hospitality team supports projects from the very beginning, with services including validation of hotel locations, valuation of hotel properties, selection of operators complete with lease/rental and management contract negotiations, and construction consulting and planning.

Massive changes in lifestyles and user behavior have an impact on hotel properties. Challenges can include excessive operating costs, declining rental income, limited functionality of the established building and an outdated hotel and room concept. Also, regular technical and energy efficiency upgrades are necessary to simply maintain the value of the property. In addition to which, property owners must meet climate goals and ESG requirements.

The hotel experts at Drees & Sommer Switzerland support you in the refurbishment, revitalization and repositioning of your existing hotel. With the operators and guests as users and their needs firmly in mind, we identify the conceptual and structural optimization potential of your hotel property and support you in its implementation. The best years are yet to come for your property.
