asset management
A little-known fact: HAM stands for hotels asset management. In 2002, our company started out providing this service to hotel owners, as our understanding of both the worlds of hospitality and real estate allowed us to relieve the pressure of our clients as well as to identify potential opportunities and risks regarding their investments.
Our main aim in this area of work is to create win-win solutions for hotel owners and operators.
performance & turnaround management
We breathe hospitality. Our experience in hotel and F&B operations allowed us to gain an edge in the field through multiple reorganisation projects of hotels, restaurants, bars, conference facilities... the list goes on.
Our aim is to help our clients operate to the maximum of their abilities both in quality and performance.
real estate transactions
Moving between the separate, but highly interlinked worlds of hospitality and real estate HAM has a bird's eye view on real estate transactions and a full understanding of the underlying dynamics. This, paired with our extensive partner network allows us to provide real estate brokerage and related services.
Through our mediation and transactional activities, we strive to make exceptional projects and deals happen.
expansion & representation services
Having been active in specific geographical areas such as CEE, SEE, CIS and Africa gives us an edge in these regions. We have a full understanding of the players, customs, challenges and opportunities in these areas and we can assist expansion or market entry through our local networks.
We help companies and investors enter these markets and we are able to represent you on the ground as well.
other services
