Amsterdam. Today, the European hotel transaction market is three times bigger than back in 2007 representing almost 8% of investments in all asset classes. Europe offers huge opportunities, though the market remains fragmented and investors should carefully analyze conditions and concepts. Spain has been picking up tremendously; Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Portugal have also improved their volume of transactions, whereas France, Austria, Belgium, Norway, Ireland and Sweden have recorded a decrease. At the 7th "Hospitality Investment Seminar" in Amsterdam last week, organized by CBRE, DLA Piper, Hilton Worldwide and Hospitality Support Group, 130 people from the hotel real estate sector discussed Do's & Don’ts in the European world of hotel financing.
