In the past few years, investments in hotel-related real estate and hotel-related businesses in general have grown substantially. In response to this increase in hotel-related activities, Loyens & Loeff has set up a dedicated ‘Hotel team’. Within this team, attorneys, tax advisers and civil law notaries work closely together to provide clients with specialised advice on all legal aspects related to their clients’ business or investments.
The Hotel team’s expertise extends to:
• Real estate ownership, lease and operation • Management structures• Intellectual property / trademarks and license agreements• Financing of hotel business and real estate• Regulatory aspects (e.g. permits) • Project development• Investment funds targeting investments in hotel real estate • Corporate structuring of (international) hotel groups
Loyens & Loeff has been involved in many major hotel deals, such as the acquisition of the Accor portfolios in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, and for a Starwood-initiated fund, as well as many other hotel deals in the Benelux. We work for most of the major hotel chains in the world, including the Marriott, Hilton, NH Hoteles, Mandarin Oriental, Peninsula, Park Plaza, etc.
The Loyens & Loeff Real Estate Services Group Renowned expertise
The Real Estate Services Group focuses on the structuring and advising on direct and indirect property transactions, property finance, civil construction law, lease law and zoning. In addition, we advise on (cross-border) litigation and arbitration matters.
