It’s a win-win for independent hotels to develop co-branded relationships with larger chains. An example is the Marriott’s Autograph Collection. In this scenario, the independent benefits from chain’s resources while maintaining its identity. For the chain, this opens growth opportunities without requiring new construction, which is especially useful in the current interest rate climate. The number of boutique hotels in the U.S. grew 14.2% per year on average between 2018 and 2023. As this trend continues, there will be many new co-branding opportunities. If you’re an independent hotel seeking to position for one of them, contact us to learn the Outerface approach. https://lnkd.in/euFW8pCa #branding #design #builtenvironment

Hilton Georgetown and DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Georgetown signify Hilton’s introduction in the country

There may soon be too many hotel rooms in the Miami area - & that's a great thing for our clients! Why is this important? Right now the hotel market in Miami is HOT - with 72% occupancy & an average room rate of $221 & revenue per available room (RevPAR) at a very high $159. It's no wonder every hotel developer wants to ad so many rooms in Miami. But, in a very short time frame there will be an additional 30% plus more rooms & what this means is our clients can hopefully look forward to lowering prices. Many of the newer properties will be in the $250 plus a night range or more. This means there will be value opportunities at some of the better - but older - properties - many of which were totally renovated over the last few years. As our latest video showed - we can get you value now near MIA - off season - at an amazing $119 a night: https://lnkd.in/ew8Hxzzn Yet - we think we will be able to get you rates near that (off season) even downtown or by the beach especially as new properties come on-line. We are confident even in-season we can get you rates by the beach at or below $199 - & near MIA for $139-149 a night.
