Market & Financial Feasibility
Hotel Feasibility Study offers an in-depth analysis of opportunities, considering many aspects of a development project that can impact its success and positioning the project to maximize its ROI or achieve other objectives as desired. Preparing conclusive development recommendations backed by comprehensive economics and sensitivity to risk is required for any successful project.

Acquisition / Disposal
Property transactions are complicated, and buying or selling a hotel is no different. If they become drawn out during due diligence, then costs can quickly spiral, damaging both sides' confidence in a deal and, in the worst-case scenario, prohibiting completion. We have vast experience with successful outcomes supporting both purchasers and vendors, therefore protecting value.

Capital Raising - Debt/ Equity
Raising debt or equity capital can be a daunting challenge for any hotel developer, especially in Africa. We have a strong track record in capital raising in Africa, successfully securing capital for more than 15 hotels, and we can support you with all necessary services to optimize your prospects of closing the finance you require.We have structured and secured equity and debt for more than ten hotels in the region.

Brand/Operator Selection
Our Operator Selection services assist owners in selecting a suitable brand and operator whose objectives are best aligned with the owner’s goals for a proposed or existing property. We negotiate the best performance terms aimed at protecting the ROI long term. Branding, management contracts, and negotiations are the difference makers between constant struggles in owner/operator relationships.

Pre-Opening
There is a lot to consider and organize during this critical period leading up to the launch of your new hotel. As part of our hotel management services, we can help you with pre-opening planning and project management.
We can take all the troubles out of your hands, setting up the operations and strategies for your new hotel.

Hotel Asset Management
Hotel owners and their external stakeholders need flexibility, which results in an uncertain market. Our solutions cover all aspects of trading a business and bring meaningful financial growth, team development, and product enhancement. Whether a distressed hotel needs to turn around under-performance or growth planning, we ensure the overall objective is achieved.

Brand Development
Our hotel branding process strategically defines the brand's philosophy and marketing positioning to effectively communicate its unique experiential concept. Our primary objective is to establish a distinct identity and atmosphere for the accommodation, differentiating it from competitors and increasing its perceived value, integrated with essential marketing components.

Turnaround / Repositioning
Ankara & Lustar has an established track record of turning around underperforming and distressed hotels. We begin with an in-depth analysis of your hotel’s current situation, identifying key areas of underperformance and potential growth. Then, we collaborate with you to develop a clear, actionable plan targeting investment growth revenues, achieving cost control, and driving profit margins.
