Feasibility

HVS

HVS is a consulting firm focused on the hospitality industry. Its work covers hotels, restaurants, casinos, shared-ownership lodging, mixed-use and resort residential developments, convention centres, sports and entertainment facilities, wellness and spa assets and golf courses, for owners, developers, investors, operators, lenders and governments.

Service lines are feasibility and market studies, valuations and appraisals, advisory and consulting, brand and management selection with contract negotiation, asset management, brokerage and advisory, convention, sports and entertainment facilities, interior design, executive search, and testimony and litigation support. Feasibility work includes market and highest-and-best-use analysis, revenue, expense and profitability forecasts used by lenders and brands, and repositioning or renovation impact studies. Each assignment is scoped around the objectives and constraints of the engagement rather than a fixed product.

The firm reports about 300 people in more than 50 offices worldwide, and its counters cite 50+ offices, 300+ industry specialists and 150k+ assignments. It states it has access to the largest global repository of hotel brand and management agreements, which it uses to benchmark proposed contracts against comparable transactions. Its office picker lists cities across the United States and Canada plus Hong Kong, Mumbai, New Delhi, Seoul, Singapore, Athens, London, Madrid, Milan, Dubai, Jeddah, Riyadh, Tel Aviv, Buenos Aires and Cape Town.

The crawled pages describe hotel, resort and public-assembly assignments; they do not mention campground or RV resort work. Fees are not published and engagements are quoted individually, so confirm both the fee and the relevant asset-class experience before commissioning a study.

Best for
