Hotel asset management

Hotel asset management in India: the owner's representative between owner and operator.

The operator runs the hotel. Spectra makes sure it performs. As the owner’s representative, we review budgets and results, align the operator’s performance with the owner’s goals and protect the long-term value of the asset. The brand gains too: it deals with an informed owner.

How it works

On the owner's side of the table.

Three stages, one team throughout.

A branded hotel
A hotel that performs
Stage I

Understand

We read the agreement, the budgets and the results, and establish where the hotel stands.

Stage II

Align

We agree goals with the owner and take them to the operator, with one point of contact on each side.

Stage III

Review

We review performance on a regular cycle and report to the owner in plain terms.

Two readers

Good for the owner. Good for the brand.

Questions owners ask

The short answers.

What is hotel asset management?

Asset management is the owner’s oversight of a hotel that someone else operates. The asset manager reviews budgets, results and capital spending, holds the operator to the agreement, and protects the value of the property for the owner.

The operator, usually the brand, runs the hotel day to day. The asset manager does not run it. Spectra sits on the owner’s side, checks that the hotel is performing as it should, and takes up issues with the operator.

Because an informed owner is easier to work with. An owner’s representative who understands hotel operations gives the brand one point of contact, and a counterpart who reads budgets and results the way a hotelier does.

The current portfolio includes Radisson Blu Marina in New Delhi, Taj Mussoorie Foothills, Fairfield by Marriott in Jaipur, Holiday Inn in Agra and in Katra, Welcomhotel Tavleen in Chail, Fortune Hotel in Aligarh and Billesley Manor in the UK.

Yes. Radisson Blu Marina, Connaught Place, asset-managed by Spectra, was named Stabilized Hotel of the Year 2024 in the Managed category.
