Why Invest in this London Hotel?
H
E
ROYAL
ALBERT
DO CK
LONDON
L
One of the primary benefits of investing in this hotel project is that it is a completely
hands off investment, with GB Hotels in place to manage the day to day operation of the
hotel, optimize occupancy levels and room rates, manage wear and tear and maximize
profitability.
Investments in hotel and resort related property can be made by individuals,
companies or, in certain cases, via a SIPP or other related pension structure.
Hotel rooms give investors the opportunity to diversify into the commercial property
sector at an affordable level and provide an excellent alternative to traditional buy to let.
The Mayor of London has produced the London Plan, which is a document that deals
with matters of strategic importance. One of its main objectives is to increase hotel
provision throughout London, so improving the quality, variety and distribution facilities,
with a major focus on disabled access.
In order to meet the forecasted demand an objective has been set to achieve an
additional 50,000 extra hotel rooms throughout rooms from 2006 to 2026.
