Hotel Acquisition Advisory in Geneva

Hotel & Hospitality Assets in Geneva

Geneva is the other half of Swiss private banking, and the diplomatic capital of Europe. Its economy runs on private banking, commodities, watchmaking and international institutions, and the members we look after here are typically principals with banking relationships and often a residence nearby.

A hotel is bought as an operating business, not a building. We source assets, read the operator agreement alongside the freehold, and coordinate the licensing and brand questions that decide whether a deal works.

Practically, an international airport with one of Europe's busiest business aviation terminals, and the watch and commodity trades both run through here.

Held locally

How this works in Geneva.

  • Requests from Geneva reach a named relationship manager rather than a queue, and the same person stays with the request until it is closed.
  • Operator and brand implications are settled before price is agreed.
  • Where something cannot be arranged in Geneva on the terms you have asked for, you are told that plainly and early rather than late.

Questions, answered once

Hotel & Hospitality Assets in Geneva, without the theatre.

Are hospitality assets trading in Geneva?

We source assets, read the operator agreement alongside the freehold, and coordinate the licensing and brand questions that decide whether a deal works. Operator and brand implications are settled before price is agreed.

Can a brand be kept, or changed, on acquisition?

We source assets, read the operator agreement alongside the freehold, and coordinate the licensing and brand questions that decide whether a deal works. Operator and brand implications are settled before price is agreed.

What licensing applies in Switzerland?

The position differs by jurisdiction and changes. We confirm what applies in Switzerland with qualified local advisers before anything proceeds, and set it out for you in writing.

How long does a hotel transaction take?

It depends on the request and the season. Your relationship manager gives you a realistic timeframe when you ask, and says early if it is not achievable rather than late.
