Hotel model

Maximising the Environment!

The hotel model is a critical step towards achieving success in hotel development. It is crucial not to let factors such as site conditions, land prices, design restrictions, or setbacks determine the hotel model. Having a perfect hotel in the wrong market or the wrong hotel in the right location can lead to failure. Our team provides you with informed advice on every aspect of developing a hotel model. 

Hotel operators may sell what they prefer or what fits their business plan, while real estate agents may sell you land with enticing drawings and renders. Construction companies will build according to the plan, but they won’t be present when you start operating. Therefore, it is essential to ask yourself,

"Does this hotel model suit the location and market? Do I really need all the additional features that come with it, or do I need to add or remove something? Do I need to spend more or less?"

Pre-design stage

The pre-design stage of a hotel project marks the initial phase that establishes the foundation for the design process. It serves as a crucial stage wherein the project’s parameters are defined, and the client’s requirements are identified. During this stage, a collaborative effort takes place among the project team, including the client, consultants, and the hotel design and development team. We bring all parties together, so they can assess the project’s feasibility, set goals and objectives and identify constraints such as budgetary considerations, site conditions, and regulatory requirements. The pre-design stage encompasses activities like site analysis, a comprehensive review of zoning requirements and an evaluation of the necessity for additional consultants, all of which ensure the project’s viability and alignment with the client’s needs.

Design Stage

The hotel design stage is when plans start to take shape, as it involves creating the design and layout of the hotel based on client requirements and feasibility studies. During this stage, the architect or design team collaborates to produce floor plans, elevations, and other detailed drawings that showcase the arrangement and design of various areas within the hotel, including guest rooms, public spaces, amenities, and other necessary areas.

Development Stage

You’re making a big investment, so you want someone you can trust to guide the process, we provide that.

While the specific requirements may vary depending on the location and project scope, here are some typical steps involved in building a hotel:

It’s important to note that this is a simplified overview and each stage can involve numerous sub-steps and considerations. We’re there with you, through the whole process.

Construction Stage

In contrast to various development endeavors, hotels are typically both owned and operated by the developers themselves. This distinction implies that any errors or oversights during the construction phase can lead to substantial operational expenses in the future. To mitigate such risks, it is essential to consistently monitor and evaluate the construction process from an operational standpoint, enabling timely adjustments and cost-saving measures.

It's crucial to recognize the unique nature of hotel construction compared to other building projects.
It's crucial to recognize the unique nature of hotel construction compared to other building projects.

In Australia, many builders employ an apartment-style construction model when constructing hotels. However, it’s important to consider whether this approach truly aligns with the requirements of a hotel, as the choice of materials and products in this model often prioritize cost savings over operational efficiency. Factors that demand careful consideration include the selection of a suitable building management system (BMS), the number and type of electrical outlets (GPOs), the specifications and capacity of lifts, the locking system, as well as energy-efficient lighting and HVAC systems. By making well-informed decisions during the construction phase, long-term cost savings can be achieved.
