Hospitality Asset Management
SHA RE 715
A hospitality asset represents a significant financial investment that requires a certain minimum return on investment for it to be feasible. A significant factor that determines the return attained is how well the asset /property/ portfolio is managed from an operational, brand and capital investment perspective. This course is designed to introduce the student to asset management, define what asset management is today and examine the skills required to be a successful asset manager. There will be a special focus on the benefits to the hotel owner of hiring an asset manager and the role of the asset manager in representing the owner in deliberations about annual operating budgets and capital expenditure plans with the hotel management company and the hotel brand. To effectuate this understanding, the course will also concentrate on the fundamentals of hotel investment analysis, including market area analysis, financial benchmarking and pro forma preparation, developing an asset management plan for a specific property, and conducting a buy/build/hold/sell analysis for the property.
