Boutique Hotels on the Rise

Traveling has always been one of the most important parts of our lives and keeping this in mind the hotel industry has changed the whole concept of hotels very rapidly in the past few years. Now hotels are no longer a place where one goes because he has no immediate accommodation in that city but these hotels have become more than just a place to stay. These hotels now provide many other integrated services and luxuries like restaurants, swimming pools, gymnasiums, spas and many others.

In the last one decade the rise of boutique hotels has made a huge impression on the hotel industry and is still making it. These boutique hotels are now operating in every major or small city whether it is New York, London, San Francisco and or any part of the world. This concept of boutique hotels basically existed from 1980s. Initially, these boutique hotels were also known as "designer" or "lifestyle" hotels. Morgan hotel of New York was the first to get this label of "boutique hotel". Now days, everyone is trying to call their hotel a boutique hotel but generally, a boutique hotel is one which is comparatively smaller, and constructed with the purpose of serving their personal customers rather than others. The definition of boutique hotel as per most of the travel and tour agents and websites of this type is, it is a hotel which do not have more than 50 rooms and the aim of this hotel is to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The blast in the numbers of boutique hotels has brought confusion as more and more internal hotel owners are opening their own chain of boutique hotels. Most famous are Starwood and resorts hotels.

After the huge popularity of New York's Morgan hotel, many boutique hotels have come into existence all across the world especially in the cities that are hotspots in terms of tourism or around them. Let's take London as an example. Till some time back, it was very hard to find one boutique hotel there but now boutique hotels are seen in every second street and what's more, bigger hotels are also converting themselves into a boutique hotel. These big boutique hotels are gaining more popularity there as the rents are high and small boutique hotels are not workable often. In last five years or so, many boutique hotels have gained huge popularity in London and some of them are Guest houses in Notting Hill, Baglioni Hotel and the Soho Hotel in Soho.

In our second example, Paris, every type of boutique hotel can promise you a big success. Probably, this is the reason why there is a huge variety and quantity of boutique hotels to choose from. One of the Paris's oldest boutique hotels is called Montalembert and it is situated on the left bank. The hotels that have been inducted as boutique hotel very recently are Hotel De Sers situated at Avenue Pierre and Hotel Sezz located very near to Eiffel Tower.

The interesting fact about boutique hotels is that the boutique hotels of North America are slightly bigger than the boutique hotels all around the world and this is because of the fact that rents are higher there. But still the boutique hotels are very famous in America.

It is estimated that as the tourism sector will grow the hotel industry especially the boutique hotel industry will also grow and also the fact that the big hoteliers have initiated their expression of interest in boutique hotels, will help this industry flourish for many years to come.

Hotels In Singapore

Looking for a hotel in Singapore? There are numerous accommodation types to suit all budgets and preferences in the island for your travel needs. They range from affordable and budget hotels to boutique and five-star hotels. If you search thoroughly, you can find good deals and great discounts for your lodgings from the Orchard Road shopping area to the more suburban districts of Geylang. There are also beach resorts in the Sentosa island should you prefer the beach.

Picking the right accommodation in Singapore depends on your budget and requirements. Most hotels come with standard facilities like International Direct Dial (IDD) phones, internet and cable, room service, mini bars, data ports for modem, meeting rooms, no-smoking rooms or floors, business and fitness centres furnished with the latest equipment. If you are on a shoestring, look for hotels that provide just the bed and bathroom. Most hotels have promotional rates available from time to time, we recommend that you check directly with the hotel before making any reservations.

The locations of the hotels affect the rates of the room. The closer you are to prime shopping districts, the more expensive the rooms are. Hotels along Orchard Road are the priciest, while those along Bencoolen Street are the cheapest. But there are many affordable hotels that are near train and bus stations, so picking one hotel near them would greatly enhance your daily commuting needs.

It is advisable to make advance reservations to avoid disappointment. You can book them online as most hotels would give you special rates for online reservations. Most major credit cards are accepted and you may be required to leave a credit card imprint or number upon check-in. Please note that rates are quoted in Singapore Dollars and maybe subject to a 10% service charge, 5% Goods and Services Tax (GST) and 1% Cess.

Condo Hotels - The Most Economical Choice in Secondary & Vacation Homes

In a condo hotel, a buyer makes a fee simple purchase of a deeded condominium unit/guestroom. When not occupying the room, the owner may make the unit available to guests at the hotel through a rental management or leaseback program. Any room revenue generated through the program is shared between the unit owner and the developer/managing partner. This scenario provides a host of tangible benefits for the condominium owner, including a deed to a physical room, access to all hotel amenities and the ability to take advantage of a 1031 tax-deferred exchange. Condo hotels differ from other vacation home models in a variety of ways.

The condo hotel concept has numerous advantages over other vacation models, including greater product consistency, fewer ownership conflicts and hassle-free rental opportunities.

Seldom-used vacation homes take time and money to oversee and maintain. With a condo hotel, you get the services and flexibility without the time commitment. The on-site management company takes care of all maintenance, finds renters and takes care of renters' needs on-site.

You have full ownership of your condo hotel unit and may sell it at any time.

When you're not using your unit, you may place it in the hotel's rental management program and share the revenue it generates.

A condo hotel unit is an asset that you may sell at any time, and, you keep 100% of the profits.

Standardized furniture packages are often incorporated into the price, or at minimum, your turnkey unit should look like all the other units in the hotel

Units rented to hotel guests suffer wear and tear. Expect special Furniture, Fixture, and Equipment (FF&E) assessments to replace worn carpet, drapes, furniture, etc.

The rental program allows condo hotel owners to earn rental income and provides access to hotel services and amenities

Potential for tax breaks associated with mortgages and depreciation.

Maintenance free ownership because property managers handle all maintenance.

Ability to take advantage of a 1031 tax-deferred exchange.

To assure room availability for visitors and tourism, local governments may limit the amount of time owners may use their unit.

Financing can be more costly than for a primary residence - usually +1%.

If the owner wants to use the unit, they should notify the hotel in advance.

Owner should pay additional fees if they want to utilize housekeeping and other services.
Income from rental may fluctuate if there is a decline in travel, desirability of the unit, or based on hotel rental rates.

Condo Hotel Owners may need to purchase additional insurance riders to protect against liability claims and damage or loss.

Condo Hotel Owners will pay monthly Condominium Association Fee's

Should a condo hotel owner decide to participate in a rental agreement, they should determine if the property has a static "hotel room" inventory. Commercial unit "rental preferences" over privately owned units could affect rental opportunities, check rental agreement language to insure fair and equitable distribution of rooms among both commercial hotel rooms and participating privately owned condo hotel units.

Additional particulars pertaining to the successful operation of condo-hotels are highlighted as follows:

- Rental contract term is typically 6 months to one year.

- Check owner's intent to occupy notification requirements, necessary to guarantee availability for

individual owners.

- Unit owners should receive quarterly statements showing a detailed breakdown of all unit and account

activity.

- A rotational booking program should be used to ensure that tnits in the rental program enjoy a fair and

equitable distribution of rooms sold.

- If there is an unusual or extraordinary event, the hotel guest may be charged for damage to the owner's

unit. Normal wear and tear is anticipated and is the responsibility of the unit's FF&E reserve account.

In order to place a unit in a rental program, a management and rental agreement is first signed between the unit owner and the hotel management company. This agreement provides for a number of variables, primarily:

- A portion of the revenues received from the nightly sales of rental program units flows through to the condo hotel owner. This is typically a 50-50 split after a 7-11% Marketing Fee and a 7-10% FF&E Capital Reserve are deducted. The hotel management company/operator retains the remaining portion of the rental revenue stream.

- A Usage Agreement is implemented between the condo hotel owner and the management

company/operator, providing for the implementation of an FF&E reserve.

- The FF&E furnishing packages should meet certain standards. Failure to comply with such standards may either require immediate refurbishment at the unit owners' expense, or the expulsion of non-conforming condos from the rental program.

- Responsibility for the maintenance and repairs of common space is allocated among condominium hotel unit owners, based on their pro-rata shares. A Homeowners' Association (HOA) is usually set up to retain ownership of such areas and oversee the collection of dues from condo hotel unit owners. These dues typically cover reserves, common area maintenance, property insurance and utilities expenses. Property taxes are usually paid for directly by each condo hotel owner, and the hotel manager pays for any operations costs including salaries and other direct hotel expenses.

Developers create projects by building or converting resorts and sell units through sales and marketing programs. Marketing costs can run as much as 11% - 15% of the unit selling price, and are rolled into the price of the unit.

Much of the actual law governing the sale of condo hotels is established by the property's municipality and state. State laws cover most aspects of condo hotel documentation, but there are important federal laws that should be considered. The sale of a condo hotel unit, coupled with certain other elements, classifies the offering as a security.

In 1973, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) determined that selling resort condominiums through a sales effort that emphasized economic benefits (such as rent-programming, mandatory rental program participation and use restriction) made the sale an investment contract and not a real estate contract. This section outlines the key differences between these two transactions.

Security offerings should be registered with the United States Federal Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) and should also meet state level securities registration requirements.

The SEC states that:

- The sale can be marketed as an investment as long as it includes information about anticipated rates of

return.

- A seller can represent a condominium hotel unit as an investment (including mandatory participation in

the rental program and potential appreciation in the value of the unit) and can program rents and

expenses among unit owners.

- All sales materials should have the necessary warnings and disclaimers typical of a prospectus.

- Large projects should file periodic disclosure reports with the SEC, similar to publicly traded companies.

If the securities are not registered and not publicly traded, then there are the following limits on resale:
- Sale is limited to accredited investors (who should have certain income/asset levels)
- General advertisement is prohibited
- Sale or resale requires the use of registered securities broker dealers

This first model is the most prevalent type of fee simple real estate transaction. It separately deeds the commercial area of the operating hotel from the guest room areas. It then turns the guest rooms into condominium units which are sold. The hotel's remaining commercial units are retained and operated separately from the Condominium Association. The hotel offers rental agreements to individual condo unit owners; enabling them to take advantage of rental income while at the same time supporting ongoing hotel operations.

In order to place a unit in a rental program, a management and rental agreement is first signed between the unit owner and the hotel management company. This agreement provides for a number of variables, primarily:

A portion of the revenues received from the nightly sales of rental program units flows through to the condo owner. This is typically a 50-50 split after a 7-11% Management Fee and a 5-10% FF&E Capital Reserve are deducted. The hotel management company/operator retains the remaining portion of the rental revenue stream.

A Usage Agreement is implemented between the condo owner and the management company/operator, providing for the implementation of an FF&E reserve.

The FF&E furnishing packages should meet certain standards. Failure to comply with such standards may either require immediate refurbishment at the unit owners' expense, or the suspension or expulsion of non-conforming condos from the rental program.

Responsibility for the maintenance and repairs of common space is allocated among condominium unit owners, based on their pro-rata shares. A Homeowners' Association (HOA) is usually set up to retain ownership of such areas and oversee the collection of dues from unit owners.

This second model deeds the guest rooms into individual condominium units including ownership of the hotel's operating components such as public areas, meeting facilities, and services.

The unit buyers are automatically part of a Condominium Association and hire a third-party to manage operations and assets. The condominium association shares 100% of the economics of the operating hotel.

This second model is less prevalent because Home Owner and Condominium Associations are typically not allowed to execute contracts for periods in excess of a year. While some credible hotel management companies are willing to operate property's on a year to year basis, it is more difficult to negotiate these terms with hotel brand companies.

A fee simple real estate transaction is not considered a security offering (investment) and does not require SEC registration. In order for a property/development to be considered a fee simple real estate transaction, and therefore exempt from SEC registration, it should meet the following criteria as described in the SEC's series of "no-action" letters:

- No emphasis on economic benefits from the efforts of a third party.

- There is a record and timeline of the sales process and the subsequent sale of the rental program.

- No representations may be made regarding economic or tax benefits of ownership.

- Rental services may not be advertised in the materials offering the unit for sale.

*The rental program is not used as an inducement to purchase.

- Prospective purchasers are provided with materials containing publicly available information regarding

*comparable developments. These may not include forward looking estimates or projections or

speculative information.

- No contract for rental or management of the purchased unit may be entered into before a commitment to purchase the unit (non-refundable deposit should be received and the contract should have no unsatisfied contingencies).

- No rental income pooling, accounts must be maintained separately by unit.

- No limits on occupancy by the owner in the sale documents other than those established by generally applicable zoning laws (can have limitations later under the rental program agreement).
- Fairly access all owners, participating or not participating in rental program

*The use and disclosure of such materials (in advance) of purchase may require registration as a

security, check with your counsel.

Condo Hotels Offer Innovative Way to Own a Vacation Home

Many people dream of owning a vacation home. But often concerns about maintaining it, renting it out in the off-season, or even justifying the expense when it's only to be used for a couple weeks of the year keep them from making the dream a reality.

Now condo hotels, an innovative type of vacation home ownership, provide a welcome solution to all these problems. Also known as condotels or aparthotels, condo hotels have been growing in popularity as a hassle-free approach to owning a luxurious second home in a great vacation destination like Miami, Orlando, Las Vegas, the Caribbean and Dubai.

Condo hotel buyers purchase an actual condominium unit in an upscale hotel or resort. The property functions as a full-service hotel, and owners have access to all facilities, amenities and services just like hotel guests.

They receive a deed to their unit and can use their vacation home when they want. When not in residence, they can place their unit into the hotel's rental program and share in the revenue it generates. Like most real estate investments, the owner can also sell his condo hotel unit at any time and may make a profit on its appreciated value.

Young professionals, baby boomers and seniors alike are just beginning to discover the benefits of owning a condo hotel unit. They appreciate the hassle-free nature of condo hotels as a second home in which a professional management company handles everything from property maintenance to finding hotel guests to rent the units. They also consider condo hotels a means to diversify their investments.

Condo hotels differ from timeshares in a number of ways. With timeshares, buyers pay only for the right to use the property for a set amount of time each year, usually a single week. They don't own the title to the property, and they do not receive any rent revenue for the weeks they're not in residence.

Condo hotel owners can use their condos when they want throughout the year, within the guidelines of the individual development. They receive a percentage of any revenue their unit generates when they're not there and the unit is rented out to hotel guests.

Timeshares traditionally diminish in value over time, rather than appreciate. While the history of condo hotel resales is rather limited, they are seen as an appreciating asset.

How do condo hotels differ from owning a traditional single family house or condominium? Consumers who purchase a regular condominium pay property taxes, insurance and maintenance fees, but typically don't have access to hotel-type amenities.

Condo hotels, on the other hand, are not your standard second home. They are beautifully furnished suites in some of the most prestigious hotels and resorts around the world.

The properties often feature four- or five-star amenities, ranging from full-service spas and fitness centers to fully-equipped business centers and fine-dining restaurants. They also come with exceptional hotel services like concierge, valet and room service.

With condo hotels, owners reap the rewards of condo ownership while enjoying the privileges of a full-service hotel.

Most condo hotels are operated by big-brand management companies such as Hyatt, Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Starwood, Hilton, Trump, InterContinental and Rosewood. Typically they are luxury hotels located on prime land, overlooking the ocean or a golf course, near popular theme parks, or in the heart of a booming downtown.

Condo hotel units range from studios and full-size apartments to luxurious penthouses and villas. Prices for these homes range from $250,000 to over one million for top properties.

What makes the condo hotel concept*so appealing? When owners are not using their condo hotel unit, they have the option of placing it into the hotel's rental program. They receive 40%-60% of the revenue their unit generates (it varies by property), with the balance going to the hotel operator. The revenue generated helps offset the costs of owning a holiday home.

While many hotel operators don't guarantee the rental of the condo, by capitalizing on the hotel's brand name, strong sales and marketing capabilities, centralized reservation system and management expertise, owners typically receive a higher level of rental income than they would from a traditional vacation home.

More importantly, ownership is 100 percent hassle-free, as the hotel operator takes care of finding hotel guests and maintaining the unit as well as managing the property's many facilities.

How are the ownership expenses split? As part of the rental agreement, the hotel pays for most operating expenses such as housekeeping, administration, sales and marketing. The condo hotel owner typically pays for real estate taxes, insurance and capital improvements. The rental revenue that owners receive helps defray these expenses and, in some cases, provides additional income.

While developers primarily sell their condo hotel units as a lifestyle and vacation home alternative, many buyers see merit in the condo hotel concept as an investment tool. They say it gives them the best of both woralds. They can enjoy all of*the benefits of vacationing in a first-class hotel or resort while they own a property that has potential to appreciate. It's the ultimate second home and real estate investment combined into one!
