The European hotel market is entering a phase that offers investors exceptional prospects. Rising demand in urban markets, sustainable RevPAR growth rates, and a significant supply shortage in the four star category are creating a strategic window for developments with long term value potential.
For investors, this means: professionally structured hotel developments will be among the most compelling asset classes in the real estate segment in 2026 – particularly when supported by strong and experienced partners.
Why Hospitality Is Performing Now
Hotel investments are showing resilient performance, driven by:
growth in both business and leisure travel
increasing international demand
the need for modernisation across existing hotel stock
the attractiveness of sustainable, energy efficient new builds
Cities such as Leipzig, Berlin, Hamburg and Warsaw are experiencing a shift towards a new equilibrium between demand and supply – an ideal moment for qualified investors to enter the market.

Outlook
