In Focus: Greece

In December 2008, we put together an article titled "The Changing Face of the Greek Hospitality Market" outlining the situation in the Greek hotel market at that time. Nearly eight years later, and after a volatile period inside and outside the country, we think it is appropriate to update our findings since we all live in "a completely different world" which has been profoundly transformed in terms of the sense of general prosperity prevailing in the Western economies since the mid-2000s. Thus, we wonder: "Has the Greek Hospitality Market Even Changed?"

In Focus: Zurich

Zürich remains an important finacial centre; however, the global finanical crisis took its toll and the corporate market, especially, has become much more price-sensitive, affecting hotel rates and meeting and events revenue. Unpegging the Swiss franc from the euro in January 2015 made the country instantly more expensive, which not only had repercussions on the tourism industry but also the competitiveness of its export economy.

August 2016: bleak outlook for French hoteliers | hospitality-on.com

This August 2016 once again offers bleak results marked by a more generalized down trend. Unlike the previous months, no category was spared and the trend may be observed in the different regions as well as in Paris and the Ile de France. The impact of the attacks last July 14 in Nice was unfortunately quick to take effect: the strong drops in Paris, the Île de France and PACA regions all pulled the national result down into the red, even if certain regions, particularly shorelines, showed slight growth.

HVS In Focus: Rome - Why the eternal city could become the next hotspot for luxury hotels

'Why should luxury travellers pay less for a hotel in Rome than in London, Paris or New York? We have the same guests here...,' a General Manager of a luxury hotel in Rome asked me recently during an interview. His remark poses an interesting question: why are luxury hotels in Rome not able to charge similar rates as those in London or Paris, when they supposedly attract a similar clientele?

According to HORWATH HTL, 2013 will be a year when most European hotel markets finally emerge from the doldrums they have been in for the past 4 years.

French Hotel Industry Performances - January 2012

2012 marks the transitional period between the new and old hotel norms. To avoid any misinterpretation, we have chosen to segment our statistics by positioning, rather than category. We have divided the market into five groups: Luxury, Upscale, Midscale, Budget and Super Budget. The characteristics of each group are presented on page 13 of this document. The economic slowdown apparent at the end of 2011 was confirmed at the start of the new year. Luxury hotels in Paris and on the Côte d'Azur were the only ones to experience RevPAR growth. A number of cities did manage to limit the damage, although for the most part, performances stagnated. Moreover, double-digit RevPAR drops were even recorded in some towns.

French Hotel Industry Performances | December 2010

2010 ended with improved rooms revenue indicators. Four star hotels took the lead, recording growth of 8.3%. Although this does not make up for the losses recorded last year, it could mark the beginning of an upswing. Compared with 2009, the 3 star category recorded significantly improved performances. This is even better news considering the midscale segment was one of the hardest hit last year. Despite these good results, budget and 2 star hotel year-end performances still remain rather fragile.

London back on the podium as hotels smash occupancy records

Improving economic conditions, the return of the business traveller and international demand should lift the London rate seven per cent for 2010, with the average room rate (ARR) for the Capital reaching £124 (up from £116 in 2009). This should boost a 2010 RevPAR gain of almost nine per cent.

French Industry Performances (July 2010) | Deloitte Reports

In July, hotels in Paris, regional France and the Côte d’Azur demonstrated similar RevPAR tendencies: an increase of over 10% for 4 star hotels, a more modest progression for 3 star hotels and a stagnation for 2 star hotels. More luxurious establishments benefited from the return of overseas guests, whilst budget, 1 and 2 star hotels were more heavily influenced by the behavior of the domestic market – increasingly watchful of accommodation expenses, with alternative lodging solutions often being favored.
