Colliers' professionals all have extensive operating and consulting experience in the hotel industry and understand that resorts and hotels are operating businesses and cannot be marketed in the same manner as conventional real estate.

Colliers International's Hotel Division provides expertise in the following areas:

• Hotel Brokerage
• Valuation and Advisory Services
• Research

Our focus is to provide advice based on world's best practice given our knowledge and insights into the market.   It is our understanding of local markets in their global context, and current operational and market issues, that enables us to provide timely, relevant and forward-looking advice.

The Hospitality division has several key services that focus particularly on hotel brokerage, valuation and advisory services and research:

Hotel Brokerage
Matching the right product to the needs of the purchaser. This is a combination of not only our technical knowledge but also our marketing techniques. For example, preparing a property, putting it to appropriate purchasers and then placing these purchasers in competitive situations.

Using our extensive knowledge together with a selective “stock list” which includes properties both publicly marketed and off the market, businesses are provided with a pool of investment opportunities and vendors with appropriate purchasers. We are able to place properties in both the international and local markets. All appointments receive the concentration of senior resources.

Research
Supporting the above is our research capacity.  This involves not only the maintenance of extensive databases on various aspects of the market but also preparing market reports and commentaries and forecasting future trends.
