Rome. In Italy the pandemic situation is still relatively under control, but now contagious spreading is also threatening the touristic winter season. As of this week, 11 million bookings have disappeared.
Milan. A fantastic summer doesn't cancel two challenging years. Yet, there is still room in Italy for investments in the luxury hospitality segment. Which means: Mainly foreign investors move in, take hold of high-quality assets in primary locations and finance them with capital from abroad. At the same time, local investors and operators are struggling with the pandemic crisis threatening many with closure.
Munich. Green bonds are slowly becoming the stars of climate financing. And now they have arrived in the hotel industry. The British hotel group Whitbread has issued green bonds with a value of 550 million pounds. Premier Inn in Germany has also profited from this move. Aareal Bank is now offering a green loan to Cerberus and Highgate for the refinancing of the Dorsett City London hotel. What is behind the green bond euphoria?
Vienna. The conservative-green government in Vienna has laid the cornerstones for its tax reform 2022. The tourism minister calls this a win for the industry, but the hotel industry is criticising the reform, especially when it comes to labour costs.
Paris/London. Since September, Accor has been the main shareholder of Ennismore London and thus officially has its own lifestyle hotel division, which has already proven to be a cash cow in the pandemic. Fully integrated now is 25hours Hotels. The changes.
Wiesbaden. In the second quarter, demand in the hotel industry increased again, but overall, the results of the first half of the year at IHG, Orascom and Aroundtown hotels are still downbeat compared to the pre-Corona era.
Munich. Munich Hotel Partners has acquired the future Marriott Hotel Basel together with the US private equity firm H.I.G. Capital and will operate it. It is the first step towards further co-investments.
Berlin. Those who were able to bridge the long cash pause on their accounts and then got the sums that were calculated will now - presumably - survive. Bridging Aid III Plus can now be applied for anew in Germany. Solutions Holding, Deutsche Hospitality, RIMC, Motel One and HRG Hotels comment on the status.
Neuss. The big pandemic-related wave of company insolvencies in Germany continues to be absent. Nevertheless, there are negative trends that could only become noticeable at the end of the year or New Year. But two hospitality lawyers do not see a wave or a tsunami.
Bern. Further aid for the Swiss hotel industry has been initiated: The Swiss Federal Council has adapted the Hardship Regulation. As of tomorrow, there will be further travel facilitations and relaxations.
