Savills has published its latest Spotlight research on the UK hotel market with a 2026 horizon, giving operators and investors a dated reference point for next year's planning cycle.

The report sits in the agent's long-running Spotlight series, which practitioners use as a benchmark document when they model transaction volumes, asset values and operator appetite across the UK regions and London. A 2026-dated edition signals that Savills expects the questions investors are asking now — pricing, debt availability and portfolio strategy — to run through at least the next full trading year.

For hotel owners, the practical value of the document is timing. Budgets for 2026 will be locked in the second half of 2025, and a major agency view published now feeds directly into those internal assumptions, from refurbishment capex to hold-versits-sell decisions at asset level.

Note for readers: the published bulletin distributed via news aggregation carries the report title and Savills attribution; the full dataset behind the Spotlight has not been reproduced in the circulating summary. Eurotables Report will update this item with the report's headline figures — transaction volumes, RevPAR forecasts and regional splits — as Savills releases them.
