What we do

Identifying the right investment opportunities

We excel at identifying and analysing strategic opportunities featuring USPs, critical size, nearby demand drivers and a potential for improvement. We have a diverse network of brokers, operators and direct owners which enables us to select the most efficient source, ensuring each project offers a competitive price. 

 

GMA drives Business Plan objectives through a careful control of the existing hotel operator and brand, or through the careful selection and proposal of the most appropriate brand.

Analysis & Execution

Continuous in-depth analysis ensures the alignment with the investment, profitability and risk objectives, anticipating possible impacts on assets and portfolios under our management.

 

Our agile structure and methodology grant us the essential flexibility to quickly adapt to macro and micro changes. We conduct an integrated asset analysis to quickly understand the sources of relative risk and return, both within the portfolio itself and new pipeline opportunities.

 

At GMA we take an active role in the full investment cycle, assuming each role: supervision of due diligences and audits, optimization of the ownership structure to maximize cash flow, negotiations with vendors, lending and financing partners, operators as well as shareholder agreements and joint ventures.

Asset management

At GMA we excel at defining and executing full renovation, refurbishment and conversion projects. With the expected return objectives in mind, our team of experts analyses each asset, defining the corresponding concept and adapting the reform scope.

 

This careful process allows for the upgrade and repositioning of the hotel, thereby optimizing bottom line and improving customer satisfaction. Additionally, GMA provides financial control and legal follow up throughout the entire process.
