Hotel Business Plan Advice: Planning Your Hotel Business

If you want to develop a successful hotel business plan, you must account for several important trends in the American (and global) economy. How will these important trends impact your new hotel venture?

• The downturn in the economy, (expected) rise of inflation, increased unemployment and flat wages
• The downturn in real estate valuations in most metro areas
• The tightening credit market (which requires your business plan to be as professional as possible, if you are seeking debt financing)

Hotel Business Plan Questions to Answer

When writing a professional hotel business plan and successfully launching or growing your hotel, you must have solid answers to the following:

• Who is the target market ("customer persona") of your hotel?
• What is the market demand for your hotel?
• How will you prove the feasibility of your new hotel?
• What kind of financing (e.g. debt, equity, etc.) will you need, and how much?
• What sources will you seek capital from (e.g. banks, VC/PE firms, angel investors, etc.)?
• What relevant experience do you and your management team have, which you can leverage to impress investors?
• How will you market your hotel (what is your marketing plan)?
• Who are your hotel's direct (and indirect) competitors?
• What is your "unfair" competitive advantage over your hotel competitors?
• What is the "exit strategy" for your hotel business?
