A transaction-based hotel price index for Europe is constructed to provide a true measure of hotel real estate performance. The index will enable investors to enhance investment decisions in many ways: to assess individual property performance; to make an objective decision about where to invest and in which property type; to assess the relative performance of hotel assets to all other sectors and consequently reach optimal funds allocation decisions. This will allow investors to time their acquisitions/disposals according to the hotel property cycle.application/pdfenCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 InternationalEuropean hotel transactionsHotel assetsHotel price indexHotel property cycleHotel valuation indexHotels transactionssalesSummary
