Hotel Asset Management Report By Minor Hotels And Skift

In collaboration with Skift, Minor Hotels has launched a new trend report titled “Asset Right: Rethinking the Balance Between Asset-Light and Heavy Strategies.” This report delves into the future of hotel asset management and provides actionable insights for hospitality leaders navigating today’s dynamic market.

The report, which draws on research and insights from both Minor Hotels and Skift, examines the advantages and limitations of traditional asset-light and asset-heavy models. It introduces a hybrid approach called "asset right," which serves as the optimal strategy for balancing operational control, brand integrity, and scalability.

Minor Hotels has established a strong reputation by implementing an asset-right strategy. Nearly 70% of its global portfolio, which comprises over 560 properties, is either owned or leased. As the company aims to accelerate its growth in strategic markets, with a goal of reaching 750 hotels by the end of 2026, this approach continues to guide its sustainable growth.

The Report Includes:

• Strategies for maintaining a competitive edge through hotel asset management.

• Tactics to achieve consistent brand delivery across franchise and management agreements.

• Approaches for utilising ownership and vertical integration to improve brand clarity and value.

• Methods to overcome growth limitations in asset-light strategies reliant on new contracts.

• Techniques for increasing property value and guest satisfaction in asset-heavy models.
