HVS has released its 2025 European Hotel Transactions report, authored by Gauthier Champlong and Lukas Horch of the consultancy's London office. The annual publication tracks single-asset and portfolio hotel deals across Europe and remains a benchmark reference for operators, investors and lenders sizing the continent's hospitality investment market.

The report's distribution through Hotel News Resource signals its usual audience: hotel investors, asset managers and corporate development teams who use HVS transaction data to benchmark pricing, portfolio strategy and market entry decisions across European jurisdictions.

What does the report cover?

HVS's transactions series typically consolidates:

• Closed single-asset hotel transactions above reporting thresholds
• Portfolio and entity-level deals involving multiple properties
• Buyer and seller categorisation, distinguishing trade buyers from institutional capital
• Geographic breakdown across European markets

The 2025 edition follows a period in which European hotel investment has been shaped by elevated financing costs, repriced asset values and a recovery in RevPAR across most major markets. Champlong and Horch have previously covered transaction activity for HVS London, where the firm advises on valuation, asset management and investment advisory mandates.

Why does the report matter to operators?

For hotel operators and owners, the HVS transactions data functions as a pricing reference. Deal volumes and per-key transaction values inform:

• Sale-and-leaseback structuring decisions
• Refinancing negotiations with lenders
• Brand conversion and management-contract renegotiations
• Regional capital allocation between gateway and secondary markets

The report lands at a point when European hospitality capital markets remain sensitive to interest rate movements, currency dynamics and the pace of the broader commercial real estate recovery.

What happens next?

The full report is available via HVS and its distribution partners. Readers tracking the European deal market should watch subsequent HVS releases for market-specific deep dives and year-end volume figures, alongside comparable datasets from the major brokerage houses, as the 2025 transaction cycle closes out.
