TOP STORY Bath’s Royal Crescent Hotel is Pride of Britain Hotels’ 50th member LATEST NEWS FEATURES VIDEOS Editor's comment 13/04/2019
• Despite a backdrop of general economic uncertainty, the buying and selling of hotels in the UK continues apace, and there appears to be a ready supply of buyers with the appetite to either expand their asset portfolio or enter the hospitality space for the first time.
To look at the subject in detail and to gain a clearer understanding of who is buying and selling, as well as how boutique hotels are valued, don’t miss next month’s Boutique and Lifestyle Hotel Summit, which takes place in London on May 22.
As well as the usual high quality cast of speakers and content-rich agenda, we have introduced a series of interactive sessions designed to tap in to the collective knowledge and experience in the room. The first will be a development workshop, where attendees will be asked to create a concept for a new boutique hotel brand, splitting up in to smaller groups to trade ideas for the fictional brand's design, social spaces, technology, sleep science, investor considerations, operations, marketing and distribution. This will be followed by speed workshops, in a similar format, on how to make F&B profitable; wellness; accessibility; partnering with your local community, management; budget boutique and hybrid hotels; and guest reviews and reputation management.
We will also be celebrating with the winners of the 2019 BoHos - the Boutique Hotel Guest Experience Awards - which will be announced at a ceremony after the Summit.
