The U.K. saw \u20ac8.2 billion (approximately $9.2 billion) in hotel transactions during the 12 months ending in the first quarter of 2019, marking a year-over-year increase of 15.1 percent. Notable deals included Covivio\u2019s, (formerly Fonci\u00e8re des R\u00e9gions) $1.1 billion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/starwood-capital-group-to-sell-14-uk-hotels-for-1b\/\">acquisition of a 14-property U.K. portfolio<\/a>, and Qatar Investment Authority hotel division Katara Hospitality\u2019s purchase of the historic Grosvenor House in London for $600 million.<\/p>\n<p>Spain, Europe\u2019s second largest hotel investment market, saw transactions totaling \u20ac4.2 billion ($4.7 billion) during the 12-month period ending in the first quarter of this year. Germany recorded \u20ac3.9 billion ($4.2 billion) in trades. The transactions constituted a year-over-year increase of 17.5 percent and 7.1 percent in Spain and Germany, respectively. Growth in key European markets such as the U.K. and Spain reflects the strength of the hotel sector and demonstrates continued demand for alternative investments and operational real estate, according to Paul Collins, head of hotel investment properties for the U.K. &amp; Ireland at CBRE.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Rising on the radar<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In France, hotel investment activity dropped 0.6 percent to just \u20ac1.3 billion ($1.4 billion) during the year ending in the first quarter of 2019, but it was enough to push the country up to fourth on the list of Europe\u2019s largest hotel investment markets. And while investment volumes totaled well below half-a-billion dollars in Portugal and Switzerland, the countries recorded the highest year-over-year increases, with a respective 346 percent and 209 percent in growth. Looking ahead at the European hotel markets in general, Collins said that 2019 is off to a strong start, following a record year for hotel investment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the 12-month period ending in the first quarter of 2019, lodging transactions totaled \u20ac23 billion ($25.7 billion), with trades in the U.K., Spain and Germany accounting for the bulk of the activity.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":969,"featured_media":1004322584,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21808,21751,16,21783,21742],"tags":[32789,32974],"class_list":["post-1004322578","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-hotel","category-international","category-investment","category-latest","tag-cbre","tag-the-qatar-investment-authority"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>European Hotel Investment Volume Still Riding High - Commercial Property Executive<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/european-hotel-investment-volume-still-riding-high\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"European Hotel Investment Volume Still Riding High\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"For the 12-month period ending in the first quarter of 2019, lodging transactions totaled \u20ac23 billion ($25.7 billion), with trades in the U.K., Spain and Germany accounting for the bulk of the activity.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/european-hotel-investment-volume-still-riding-high\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Commercial Property Executive\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CPExecutive\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-05-09T14:00:48+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/05\/Grosvenor-House-London-entrance.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"700\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"525\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Barbra Murray\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cpexecutive\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@cpexecutive\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/european-hotel-investment-volume-still-riding-high\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/european-hotel-investment-volume-still-riding-high\/\",\"name\":\"European Hotel Investment Volume Still Riding High - Commercial Property Executive\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/european-hotel-investment-volume-still-riding-high\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/european-hotel-investment-volume-still-riding-high\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/05\/Grosvenor-House-London-entrance.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2019-05-09T14:00:48+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/#\/schema\/person\/d1edda962dd3af55af8a203870f9fc32\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/european-hotel-investment-volume-still-riding-high\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/european-hotel-investment-volume-still-riding-high\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/european-hotel-investment-volume-still-riding-high\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/05\/Grosvenor-House-London-entrance.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/05\/Grosvenor-House-London-entrance.jpg\",\"width\":700,\"height\":525,\"caption\":\"Grosvenor House, London.
