In an industry increasingly filled with competition, data overload, segment upon segment of expertise and niche slants, it can be difficult, costly and time consuming to research facts and trends outside the familiar local market. BHA’s worldwide network and years of experience provide for a swift, complete and reliable resource to the everyday or unusual hotel management and operation situations. 

 

Boutique Hotel Advisors is a specialized hospitality information resource that provides customized, partner-level services for owners, investors and operators of independent hotels, resorts, and residences.   BHA’s staff  are experienced market leading hoteliers from operations, sales, marketing, and management in all segments of the hotel industry.

BHA’s guiding principle is “better informed decision making” for hotel owners and operators. 

Each advisor is recognized in the industry with more than a decade of front-line hands-on experience among the world’s most recognized hotels.  They have operated within the most competitive markets and demanding clientele.  BHA’s distinguished and diverse careers in all aspects of hotel sales, marketing and operations are founded on the experiences and the key roles each advisor has played in developing, opening, sustaining, acquiring, and repositioning of international hotels and destinations.

As owners and managers in the independent hotel market are more ‘attached’ to their hotel, their decisions are often ‘emotional’ or ‘personal’.  It takes discipline to step outside of the immediate nature and review true business alternatives that are better chosen with objective rational criteria.  Popular matters include; management review, executive analysis, sales representation, brand selection, marketing alliances, and partnerships. These subjects are thoroughly evaluated for results, recognition, and resources actually provided and that can be measured and calculated as an undisputable return on your cost.

We understand, from our experience, the ins and outs of management companies.  We objectively reveal and assist to gather and verify qualifications, references capabilities,  contractual obligations and positions, operator fees and performance criteria, and systems to oversee and measure operator performance.  On behalf of owners, we employ a systematic approach for selecting hotel management companies and the process that will maximize the benefit for the property owner.  Specifically, we provide expert, qualitative assessments, among other matters, to the items listed above.
