London Market Update | March 2009

To say the market has been extremely tough over the last few months would be a massive understatement. We can see the effects that the banking crisis is having, the wider implications of an economic slowdown in the UK and the knock on for our own industry. As clients you have been very supportive of us in the past, either when we were The Bench or HotelBenchmark and now as STR Global and we want to try and help as much as we can. We are sitting on a large amount of quality market information, and whereas you have the ability to pull a lot of data through our website, you probably haven’t had the time to. In all market conditions, whether growing or contracting, we need to look at the specific market segment because they all behave differently.

PwC: Road to recovery is long and winding for UK hotels

indicators show UK hotels, of all shapes and sizes are in for a rough ride over 2009, with nearly 200 per cent more hotel companies becoming insolvent in Q1 2009 than in the same quarter last year. Up to this point we have mainly seen smaller, standalone hotels, with only a few exceptions of hotel companies where debt levels have become unsustainable as demand and profits have declined. However, new PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP insolvency statistics show the quarter to quarter rate has slowed with a 20 per cent increase in insolvencies from Q4 2008 to Q1 2009 - the highest increase being over 100 per cent from September to December 2008.

UK hoteliers experience further falls in March | PKF Reports

Hotels across the UK experienced further falls across occupancy, room rate and rooms yield in March, according to monthly figures released today by PKF Hotel Consultancy Services. Direct year on year comparisons are hard to make when Easter falls in different months, which is the case between 2008 and 2009, but nonetheless the figures suggest that the economic downturn continued to affect the capital.
