Atlantic Ocean Hotel Investor Summit (AOHIS)

Jan 16 - 17, 2023
NH Collection Madrid Eurobuilding
Madrid, Spain

HOFTEL, the association of hotel owners, investors, franchisees and developers, of which HVS is a long-standing supporter, is launching its Atlantic Ocean Hotel Investor Summit, www.aohis.co, on 16-17 January 2023 at the NH Collection Eurobuilding hotel in Madrid. The summit will focus on the UK, France, Iberia, Latin America and the Caribbean, along with Atlantic Africa, and should become a core event in the European calendar.

Many of the topics are of general interest to hoteliers and the companies that work with them, such as:

  • The impact of inflation on the sector;
  • Where to source debt;
  • The changing role of branded management companies when faced with white-label operators;
  • Which new European hotel funds have the best strategies?
  • How to manage surging employee costs.

There are also country roundtables on the UK, France, and Portugal.

HOFTEL describes its conferences as:

  • Owner-rich - they promise that at least a third of the room is owners/investors/developers
  • Senior level - in recent events, around 40% of attendees have been company owners and families, CEOs and other C-suite executives within their firms
  • Interesting - they believe in a content-led event with real discussions on meaningful issues, and without any marketing 'fluff'
  • The right size - 'Big enough to meet the right people….but also small enough to meet the right people'. They aim for 200-300 attendees, of whom 100 are speakers - it is easy to get around everyone, so the networking is high quality.

There is already an excellent line-up of more than 100 speakers, with participation from investors like Archer, AXA, Blackstone, Brookfield, Cedar, Fortress, 4C, Gaw Capital, Klarent, KSL, Pandox, Pro-Invest, Schroders, Swiss Life, and Westmont, as well as many operators including Aimbridge, Barceló, Catalonia Hotels, Generator, Hyatt, Kempinski, Meliá, NH, Nikki Beach, Six Senses, Wyndham and Yotel.
