Hotel investments in Asia-Pac hit 6-year high in 2013

US$8.7b worth of deals recorded.

According to Savills, investment in Asia Pacific hotel properties is at its highest level since 2007, with US$8.7 billion of transactions completed in 2013.

The fourth quarter registered approximately US$1.56 billion of investment transactions, representing an 88.2% increase over Q4/2012 (US$0.83 billion) and bringing the total investment volume for 2013 to US$8.7 billion, an approximate 23.4% increase over 2012 (US$7.07 billion).

Three major transactions in 2013 provide good examples of investment market trends: the sale of a 31-hotel portfolio in Australia, with a total transaction volume of A$800 million (US$721.9 million), to Abu Dhabi Investment Authority indicated that demand from overseas investors in Australia remains at an all-time high; the record sale of The Westin Singapore (US$372.4 million) signalled the health of Japanese investors; and the Hilton Tokyo Bay acquisition (US$293.06 million) showed that Japan hotel REITs were the driving force behind Japanese commercial property transactions.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
