Hotelinvest: The enterprise

HOTELINVEST is one of only a few successful European enterprises
that are specialised exclusively in the mediation of hotels as an investment. Therefor count some good reasons.

Motivation

The founder, CEO and sole shareholder of HOTELINVEST, Thomas Wührer, was part of an old-established hotel dynasty from Bad Gastein / Austria (e.g. Parkhotel Bellevue and the famous Bellevue Alm chalet) and has worked in the international hotel business in Vienna, Geneva, Paris, Monte Carlo, London and Florence/Italy. In the US (Dallas, Texas) he built up together with his American Partner one of the largest touroperators to bring American tourist to Austria

He knows the hotel business from childhood and he worked in some of the best hotels in Geneva, Monte Carlo, Paris and London. Mr. Wührer has learnt the main criteria of successful business and values of the service industry.

Philosophy

The pure mediation of hotel real estate represents - for investors as well as owners, who want to sell, - only some help. Therefore, the personal and discreet care of customers of both sides takes for HOTELINVEST the highest rank.

From the fair assessment of the property up to the development of individual solutions, e.g. the construction of the purchase-contract, the development of tax optimised enterprise constructions or the management of the sold hotels, HOTELINVEST helps and supports with professional knowledge for both partners.

Expert's assessment

As a qualified hotel businessman, graduate in business management with the main focus marketing and with a University master degree in management, Thomas Wührer disposes the necessary expert's assessment in economic as well as the important knowledge in hotel management.

He recognises weak spots and potentials of locations, reputation, condition of the building, concepts, service claim and profitability of a hotel with the eyes of the hotel management as well as from the perspective of an investor.

Experience

Since the foundation in 2010, HOTELINVEST could realise seventeen hotel transactions with a volume of 166 million Euros. One hotel is administered by the HOTELINVEST group by order in trust to the highest satisfaction of the investors. These positive experiences confirm HOTELINVEST in the personal and individual enterprise philosophy.

Contacts

The wide portfolio of hotels in most different dimensions all over Europe, but also in other continents, confirm the interlinking of HOTELINVEST in this branch. Besides, for investment customers the partners of HOTELINVEST for law and contracts, tax and audit as well as architectural questions are a perfect supplement for an investment, serious and with no consideration.

The man behind HOTELINVEST.

Portrait Thomas Wührer


The founder, sole shareholder and CEO of HOTELINVEST, Thomas Wührer, originates from an established hotel owner dynasty from Bad Gastein, Austria. There his family owned the famous Parkhotel Bellevue, the Alpine Bellevue, the Sporthotel and the legendary Bellevue Alm chalet. At first Thomas Wührer continued this tradition and finished an education as a hotel businessman. Later he collected valuable experiences in the international hotel-business and worked in leading hotels in Vienna, Geneva, Paris, Monte Carlo, London and Florence.

 

Double education and wide experience

In America (Dallas, Texas), Thomas Wührer built up together with an American partner one - at this time – of the biggest tour operator agencies. After that, he studied marketing at the Bavarian academy in Munich (with master degree) and then he studied management at the University of Salzburg and concluded with a master in management. With this background Thomas Wührer knows the hotel business from a practical and professional perspective. He has seen the layouts and developments in this special branch and the results from close nearness. Therefore, he disposes of the general necessary economic expert's assessment as well as of specific knowledge for this branch and experiences in the hotel management. So he sees possible weak spots and potentials with the eyes of the hotel management as well as from the perspective of the investor.
