Jeremy Hill Director and Head of Hotels

“ The market dynamic in the hotel sector changed quarter-by-quarter through 2011 – from hope and increased activity early in the year to uncertainty and confusion by year-end. Significant deals did take place in a transactional market dominated by distress all across Europe, while London again led trading performance. The year to come could provide a windfall for cash buyers in an increasingly ‘ come-and-buy-me’ marketplace in which the availability of cash

in a debt-scarce environment will again be the most crucial influencing factor.”
