Hotel Operator Selection & Hotel Management Agreement (HMA) Advisory
The Hotelier Office supports owners and developers in selecting the most suitable hotel operator and reviewing the Hotel Management Agreement (HMA) from a hospitality, commercial, and operational perspective.
We review operator capabilities, brand or management model fit, technical and commercial proposals, management fees, incentive structures, authority levels, performance obligations, termination conditions, reporting mechanisms, and operating governance that directly affect owner interests and asset value.
This service is designed for new hospitality projects, assets seeking an operator, owners evaluating multiple management proposals, or developers who need independent advisory support before signing an HMA or entering a long-term operating relationship.
