Hotel investment is a popular choice for real estate investors looking to diversify their investments and reap the rewards as a much lower maintenance option than a residential purchase, and it seems the UK is the most popular place to invest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both international and local investors are continuing to flock to the UK to make investments in the hotel sector<\/a>, according to a recent study by CBRE, as the country retains the top spot as the most-sought after place to invest in Europe – ahead of Germany and Spain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The European Hotel Investor Intentions Survey revealed that 35% of respondents said the UK was their main hotel investment location, which was 106% more than 2017, while Germany was the top choice for 18% and Spain came in third place with 16%.<\/p>\n

Last year, the UK attracted a record \u00a35.3bn in investment into hotels from investors both in the UK and abroad<\/a>, which was the most invested out of any European country<\/a> and a 39% jump on the previous year’s levels.<\/p>\n

Branching out across the country<\/h4>\n

However, while London<\/a> generally dominates the hotel investment sector as the top place for international investors, it seems that it is hotels outside the capital<\/a> that have been gaining strength and popularity for investors.<\/p>\n

Paul Collins, head of hotel investment properties for UK & Ireland at CBRE, said: “The UK is attracting a wide range of international investors seeking opportunities in key cities such as London, Manchester<\/a> and Edinburgh.<\/p>\n

“Investor appetite for quality regional hotels will remain resilient and despite the UK\u2019s impending withdrawal from the European Union<\/a>, our survey results suggest that any restrictions to the growth of UK investment volumes are more likely to be because of restricted supply rather than a reduction in demand for hotel assets.”<\/p>\n

The survey showed that 38% of investors are focusing on “gateway cities”, with capital cities attracting slightly less of the investment (36%) followed by secondary cities (16%) and resort locations (9%). But the industry as a whole is growing as more property investors look to diversify their assets, with 94% of respondents saying they intended to either match or increase their current hotel investments over the course of this year.<\/p>\n
