Accel Asset Management

Accel Asset Management

From overlooked asset to remarkable destination.

Transforming assets. Unlocking value. We identify hospitality potential where others see an ageing, underperforming or mispositioned property.

This is hospitality asset transformation rather than agency work. We are not looking for a transaction — we are looking for a building with a proposition inside it, and the willingness to fund the change.

The Process

Seven stages, in order.

A repositioning fails when steps are skipped. We run them in sequence, and we do not begin capex until the first three are settled.

01

Discover

We look at properties others have written off, and test whether there is a hospitality proposition inside the building.

02

Audit

Physical condition, operating performance, cost base, contracts and market position — measured before anything is promised.

03

Position

We decide what the asset should be, for whom, and at what rate. Highest value use, not the most obvious one.

04

Reposition

Concept, brand, experience design, commercial model and the capex plan required to get there.

05

Operate

Accel Hospitality takes over the running of the property: team, standards, systems and distribution.

06

Optimise

Revenue management, cost discipline and guest relevance, reviewed against the plan rather than against last year.

07

Grow value

The asset is held, refinanced or exited from a stronger position than it entered.

Case studies

Projects in progress.

Case studies are published once a project has operated long enough to report on honestly. Two are currently in progress.
