Frequently asked questions
How is a hotel valued using the EBITDA method?
You start from revenue (rooms × RevPAR × 365), estimate EBITDA by applying the operating margin, and multiply by the market multiple. The result is a value range, refined through real estate and positioning analysis.
What is RevPAR and why does it matter in a valuation?
RevPAR (revenue per available room) is ADR × occupancy. It is one of the main value drivers: a higher RevPAR in Amalfi means greater earning capacity and therefore a higher market value.
Which factors increase the value of a 4-star hotel in Amalfi?
Location and tourist flows in Amalfi, brand affiliation, quality of F&B and wellness, condition of the building, cost efficiency and management contracts. Optimising these elements before a sale increases the applicable multiple.
