When developing a new hotel or establishing a new hospitality or leisure business or brand, it is paramount that you make effective and strategic long term decisions from the outset. This would have a significant and an unalterable impact on the end product. It is therefore vital that you let an expert appraise your plans and vision to ensure every aspect of the development is thought-through with expertise and experience based focus and judgement.

Hotel Asset Management Services

In the fiercely competitive hotel and leisure sectors, expert input can make the difference between a healthy bottom-line and letting go of your pride and joy, the business you have worked so hard to develop. Although hard to imagine, sometime a minor re-balancing of your day to day business undertakings, protocols and procedures can make that all important difference your business needs to run an efficient operation and stay afloat or even rise above your competitors and capture a larger share of their business.

It could just be that most of your end revenue is going towards paying large amounts of commission to OTAs (Online Travel Agents) and therefore depleting your bottom-line making it impossible for you to make a reasonable return after meeting the business’s other commitments. We have the expertise to devise and deploy a bespoke solutions driven plan that will help your hotel or property portfolio sail through difficult times and make your balance sheet worth looking at once again.

We can also work closely with your bank or facility provider where applicable to service their demands and expectations if necessary. We work with and are recognised by the Hotels and Structured Real Estate arm of many of the corporate banking groups and other major lenders.

Trusted by 100+ hoteliers globally

NK Associates has been working with the team at London House Hotels for just over two years now. Nassar’s expertise and technical knowledge has been of significant use to our operation and the LHH management team. His company’s guidance and support has had a tremendous and rapid impact on the business in both service delivery and sales. We are extremely glad we chose to work with Nassar and his team and would recommend his services to other hoteliers, hotel developers and hotel operators who are looking for express business gains and quick turn-arounds without the fluff that comes with typical hotel experts.

Managing Director

Employing the services of Nassar Khalil and Associates was a wise and very productive decision for our group. Nassar and his team have proved to be exceptional in all the areas of the business they are involved in within our group. We conducted a comprehensive research exercise to find a company that will work with us not just as consultants but also as a member of the team and we are honoured and privileged to have appointed Nassar and his team. This has saved us both time and a lot of money as Nassar is very much the answer to our search. His background, knowledge, experience and judgement is admirable and impressive.

Nassar Khalil came to us by recommendation from a major hotel group. Nassar came into our business and made an immediate difference. His unassuming approach rapidly overcame the barriers of external consultant interference and provided hands on guidance and coaching to all of our senior Managers whilst also steering the board to developing a more effective strategy for all areas of the business. The results of his involvement have been immediate and have taken the board by surprise. Our sales are noticeably up, our overheads have dramatically reduced and more surprisingly, our type of clientele has also changed.

Chairman

Prior to appointing Nassar Khalil and Associates as our Hotel and Leisure consultants , we used the services of a much larger consultancy firm to steer the business through its rapid growth and expansion plans. The difference between the two firms is abundantly clear from the moment Nassar and his team stepped in. The attention to detail, value and direction the new team brought to the business and operation in a short space of time is remarkable.

Nassar was my key contact at Nadler Hotels between 2005 and 2010. I greatly enjoyed our business relationship as I knew with Nassar I was dealing with an intelligent and thoughtful hotelier, keen to listen to ideas and initiatives and work together for mutual benefit. I would highly recommend Nassar as an excellent business partner for any hotelier or company involved in the hospitality sector.
