Hotels are an attractive asset class for many property investors, bringing in healthy yields without the maintenance of buy-to-let; and 2020 could be a good year to invest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Buy-to-let<\/a> is still cited as one of the most rewarding places to invest your money, provided you choose the right investment, but hotel room investment is a popular alternative.<\/p>\n

Some key benefits<\/h4>\n

Unlike buy-to-let which normally involves dealing with tenants – unless you appoint a management company – hotel room investments are managed by the hotel, and usually come with a long lease, so they are a good option for investors who want an investment they won’t have to spend time on. They can also provide more attractive yields<\/a> than a traditional buy-to-let.<\/p>\n

Starting price points tend to be lower than investment in a whole property, making it easier to spread your money – and risk – across several hotels in different locations should you wish. The lower cost also means no mortgage<\/a> is required, which can be beneficial to some investors.<\/p>\n

Unlike buy-to-let, the value of your investment isn’t influenced by housing market fluctuations, and many hotel investments come with guaranteed returns as well as capital growth.<\/p>\n

Which locations for hotel investment?<\/h4>\n

Earlier this month, Deloitte published its European Hotel Investment Conference (EHIC) report looking in more detail at the hotel investment sector across Europe as well as within the UK specifically.<\/p>\n

On a Europe-wide basis, London<\/a> came in third position in terms of its attractiveness for the asset class, after Amsterdam and Paris. Of those surveyed, 31% believe hotels will be the most attractive asset class for investment in 2020 because of their positive demand fundamentals (71%) and yield profiles (46%).<\/p>\n

Within the UK, the top locations for hotel investment according to the report are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Edinburgh<\/li>\n
  2. Cambridge<\/li>\n
  3. Oxford<\/li>\n
  4. Manchester<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Bath<\/li>\n
  6. Birmingham<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. Glasgow<\/li>\n
  8. Bristol<\/li>\n
  9. Liverpool<\/a><\/li>\n
  10. York<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The strength of the tourism industry<\/a> in these areas is a major factor in the results, and the northern cities of Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham are seeing increased interest from every class of property investor, including in the hotel sector.<\/p>\n
