Hotel Business Plan

OK, so you have decided to realize your dream and open your own hotel . You have thought out an amazing concept delivering unparalleled guest service. The next step would be to write a hotel business plan. It’s like a road map to the opening. However, as a seasoned Hotel Management Company , we have seen that this is where most entrepreneurs get stuck.
Why? Many do not have the time and don’t know what to write or how to do the financials. But until you finish your business plan, you will not be able to get the financing either. So you end up with ideas sitting in your head not realizing your dream.
Really it is not that difficult to make a good hotel business plan. It is merely a structured summary of your idea. Most people try to include everything about their hotel concept in the plan. This leads to an indigestible super novel-like bookwork, aka a mess.
The key is, knowing what to include, and what not to include in your hotel business plan. Create a clear road map for success. Excite investors rather than bore them to death like most business plans full of redundant information do. And you need to lead readers down the exact path you want.
One of the main challenges for example is that after reading the first page most businesses often don’t fully understand what the hotel is all about. For investors and lenders, it is crucial they can quickly comprehend your plan, without reading the whole document.

Hotels 101: The Basics of Business Planning
We have put together a hotel business plan template to help you on your way. Check out our approach based on 10 critical points, being:
- Executive Summary
- Company Analysis
- Industry Analysis
- Customer Analysis
- Competitive Analysis
- Strategic Plan
- Operations Plan
- Management Team
- Financial Plan
- Key Milestones
Steps of your Hotel Business Plan
Let’s dive into the step-by-step checklist of what your hotel business plan should look like.

Infographic by Xotels
1. Executive Summary
This first part should consist of two main parts, being:
- Mission Statement (Introduction): a 1 line company description only the essence of your hotel (not 2 lines or a paragraph). It explains why you are in business or which huge need you are solving, that currently is not being met. For example in the case of Qbic Hotels “Moving modular hotels into under-utilized real-estate to reduce build-out cost and time.”
- Objectives : What do you hope to accomplish (i.e. “Reach an annual occupancy of 90%”).
2. Company Analysis
More detailed information on the USPs (unique selling points) of your hotel concept.

3. Industry Analysis
Information on the current industry trends and the current state of the market and how this will impact your hotel. This is needed as investors want to be sure you really understand the hotel industry. This acts as the foundation on which decisions such as trends and developments to follow will be based.
4. Customer Analysis
In-depth information on your target market, including geographic, demographic, socioeconomic, psychographic, and behavioural segmentation details. Which are the types of guests who will mostly stay at your hotel? Explain which features will be meeting the needs and wants of these main segments when thinking of:
Basically, how will consumers answer this question ‘Why my hotel?’
Aim to break it up to the point value can be easily communicated (do not make it too overcomplicated). Think of the following examples:
- Psychographics: interests, lifestyles, personality, values, opinions, and attitudes
- Behavioural segmentation: purchasing behaviour, level of engagement, customer loyalty
- Demographics: gender, age, marital status and education
- Geographics: location (country, state, region, city)
- Socio-economics
Any of the above examples of hotel segmentation can, if described well, be of great value to your business plan. An example of this could be a hotel located in a beach town, where you should be able to describe how demographics and psychographics differ from summer to winter time. Especially, since this example is typically known for lower demand in winter which you could be compensating for with the right marketing strategy on hand.
5. Competitive Analysis
A study of your local competition or global concept competitors, with each of their strengths, weaknesses, occupancy rates and market share ( SWOT analysis ). And don’t forget the most important part; what differentiates you from them. What makes you stand out?
Ask yourself: “can I add value to a specific area”, especially when it comes to hotel-dense areas like city centres or major destinations.

6. Strategic Plan
This exists of 3 parts:
- Marketing : How exactly will you attract customers/guests? How will you position yourself? What will your message be to the different segments of your business mix? How will your direct marketing work? What will be the plan for your hotel website, SEO, SEM and SMM? Will you do offline promotion? In short, your hotel marketing strategy should cover everything there is to know about how to market your hotel.
- Distribution : Which 3rd party channels will you use and how will you manage availability? What technology will you need?
- Revenue management : What pricing and yield techniques will you use? What will your payment and cancellation policies be? Which room types will you be selling, and how will they be individually marketed? How many revenue scenarios will I create? Where can I compensate income/demand streams when necessary?
Make sure you have the capabilities to plan out a strong marketing, distribution and revenue management strategy.
Things get complicated rather fast, and choosing to outsource hotel and revenue management is likely to give you a strategic advantage, during the planning phase, and the execution of your business plans.
7. Operations Plan
How will you run your hotel? Think of the following elements:
- How many staff and supervisors will you need?
- What are their job descriptions/responsibilities?
- What background and experience should they have?
- When should they start?
- What are your service standards?
- Will you develop manuals?
- Which supplier will you use?
- How will you manage inventory?
8. Management Team
Include the bios of your team. Focus on what uniquely qualifies you to make your hotel such a success. Having a great team is the key to success , and stakeholders will be impressed with a thorough explanation of the added value everyone brings to the table.
9. Financial Plan
Provide the start-up costs of the hotel (capital investment), the ongoing business costs, operational expenses and revenue projections for the next five years. These figures should be always based on your Hotel Feasibility Study . The KPIs to look at include expected occupancy, ADR (Average Daily Rate) and RevPAR (Revenue per Available Room).
If you are raising money , outline how much funding will be needed and when. Explain how you will generate a return on investment for investors, or when lenders will be paid back.
10. Key Milestones
These are the most important achievements which once they have been completed, will make your hotel more likely to succeed. Think off:
- Location selection
- Permits & Licenses
- Build-out / Construction of the Hotel
- Staffing and Training
- GOP Break-even
- NOI Break-even
Each time one of the key milestones is achieved, the risk of lenders or investors decreases . And once your last key milestone is reached, the chance of success is more or less guaranteed.
11. Appendix
Provide any other relevant information here. Don’t clutter the main sections of your hotel business plan with too many details. Rather support them with attachments in this part.

Putting Your Plan into Action
Many people have great business ideas. But that really doesn’t matter. The difference between dreamers and entrepreneurs is the action mindset. Are you ready to ship your idea to the market?
The first step is to put your ideas on paper. I hope this free sample will help you write a persuasive hotel business plan. Because no investor or lender will be interested if you cannot present a clear plan.
Follow your dreams and go for it!

By Lana Cook
Do you love connecting with people from all over the world who share your passion for travel? Don’t want to work a typical 9-5 job and instead want to build a business where every day is different, and you own your schedule?
Opening a hotel business is a dream many entrepreneurs have, but it can be a daunting venture to start. A hotel business plan is a critical first step for business owners to turn their dreams into reality. A strategic plan allows one to study the hotel industry, identify their hotel’s unique point of view, and outline how exactly they will reach their goals.
Read on to learn more about the 10 sections to include in your hotel business plan, tips for creating an effective plan, and key things you need to start your new hotel business.
What is a hotel business plan?
A hotel business plan is a detailed document that identifies your business’s goals, objectives, and strategies for success. It includes market research and a roadmap for building and operating your business.

Why do you need a hotel business plan?
Studies show that entrepreneurs who finished their business plan were twice as likely to succeed in growing their business than those with no plan. A hotel business plan:
- Helps you identify whether you have a viable business idea
- Provides a detailed roadmap on what you need to accomplish and why
- Gives potential investors insight into your business idea and confidence that you can be successful
- Keeps you on track as you start to execute the different tactics outlined in your plan
- Identifies critical milestones for you and your team to reach
Your plan does not have to be static and should change over time as your business grows and evolves. Your first draft is a starting point to help guide your strategy and instill confidence in potential investors.
10 sections to include in your hotel business plan
Whether you’re starting a small boutique hotel, a cozy B&B, or a 5-star resort, you will need to address the following sections in your hotel business plan.
1. Executive summary
An executive summary is the most essential part of your business plan. It should concisely explain the purpose of your business and why it will be a success.
Include your mission statement explaining why your hotel exists and its overall goal. For example, Capella Hotels & Resorts ’ mission is to combine tradition, discovery, individuality, and twist of the unexpected to create the perfect stay for each guest.
You should also include your vision statement that clearly describes your hotel’s purpose for being in a single sentence. For Capella Hotels, its vision is to embody excellence in the craft of hospitality.
We recommend writing your executive summary as the final stage, as it should summarize the goals and objectives laid out in your plan.
2. Company analysis
Your company analysis is where you can dive into your hotel’s competitive advantage. Ask yourself what makes your hotel unique. Why would guests want to stay with you instead of your competitors?
In this section, identify your brand’s identity and the goals and objectives you want to accomplish. Outline how many rooms and room categories your property will have. For example, will you offer a hybrid hospitality model with dorms, single rooms, and suites? Explain what ancillary revenue sources you’ll offer, like in-room food and beverage options, welcome drinks, or airport shuttles.
Use storytelling to communicate your excitement and passion and make it clear what your hotel will bring to the hospitality industry that hasn’t been done before.
3. Industry analysis
As a business owner, you must be prepared for forces outside your control. You will need to conduct a market analysis that looks at the hospitality industry to identify micro and macro trends that may impact your business. Look at:
- Economic trends
- Environmental trends
- Political trends
- Global health trend
- Technology trends
For each trend, identify how it will impact your business and ways to mitigate risk or take advantage of opportunities.
For example, digital check-in technology has increased across the hotel industry with the rise of tech-savvy guests, new innovative software providers in the market, and labor challenges. Therefore, you should consider what guest engagement solutions you’ll include at your hotel.
In addition to trends, look at the history of the hospitality industry, its current size, and how it’s expected to grow in the short and long term. This research will impact the rest of your plan, especially your marketing and finances.
4. Customer analysis
What type of hotel guests do you want to attract? It’s impossible to please every kind of guest, which is why it’s important to identify your target market . Once you know who you want to stay at your property, you can develop amenities, services, and marketing materials to attract these guests and deliver exceptional experiences.
Ask yourself:
- What type of guests do I want? Business or leisure travelers?
- What demographics? Age, gender, marital status, etc.
- What are my target market’s interests? Water sports, hiking, relaxation, museums, animals, etc.
- What does my target market value? Sustainability, contactless technology, personalized service, localized experiences, etc.
This section will help you formulate the guest experience to ensure that expectations meet reality .
5. Competitive analysis
The competition you face will vary depending on where your hotel is located. This section is where you should conduct in-depth competitor research to understand how your hotel will compare. Identify who your five major competitors are — ideally, three direct competitors who you will be competing with upon opening and two aspirational competitors that you can emulate as you grow your business.
Conduct a SWOT analysis based on your competitors to look at:
- Strengths – where does your property excel in comparison to competitors? Why would travelers pick you? Price, amenities, location, technology, etc.
- Weaknesses – where does your property fall short in comparison to competitors? Price, amenities, location, technology, etc.
- Opportunities – what industry trends can you take advantage of? What local events or partnerships can you capitalize on?
- Threats – what are the biggest threats facing your property? War, travel restrictions, recession, etc.
A thorough analysis can help solidify your competitive advantage and develop a contingency plan for how you will deal with your weaknesses and threats.
6. Marketing plan
Without demand, there is no business. A hotel marketing plan outlines the channels you’ll use to reach your target audience to drive bookings. Your marketing strategy should include 3 key channels:
1) Paid media — paid advertising to promote your property and drive bookings. This includes online travel agencies (OTAs) , search engine marketing (SEM) , retargeting, and metasearch advertising .
2) Owned media — content you create, like your hotel website , social media channels , blog posts, and SEO .
3) Earned media — user-generated content created by third parties like media coverage or online reviews.

7. Operations plan
How do you plan to run your day-to-day operations? This section of your plan will outline all of the key tasks and responsibilities of your team and what exactly your hotel will offer. Consider:
- The number of staff and supervisors required
- Job descriptions and responsibilities
- Your service standards (check out our downloadable SOPs for some inspiration)
- How you’ll manage your inventory
- What hotel technology solution(s) will you need? PMS, channel manager, booking engine, payment terminal, revenue management tools, guest engagement software, etc.
- What services and amenities do you want to offer?
Detail your short and long-term operational plans and the stakeholders involved for each area.
8. Management team
Whether or not you’ve hired your team yet, this section is one of the most important sections that potential investors will look at. Make sure to outline the key personnel you will require and their roles.
In general, these are the following roles you’ll want to outline:
- Hotel management (general manager, front office manager, housekeeping manager, maintenance manager, revenue manager)
- Hotel sales team
- Housekeeping staff
- Front office staff
- Maintenance
Depending on the size of your hotel, your team will vary. Identify what team members you will need to open and your hiring plans over the next five years.
9. Strategic plan
Hoteliers must be strategic in optimizing occupancy rates across seasons to maintain revenue. As part of your strategic plan, identify how you will manage:
- Pricing – what room types will you offer, and how will the pricing vary?
- How will you maintain consistent occupancy throughout the high and low seasons? Will you adapt your pricing and marketing strategies?
- How will you conduct revenue management ? What type of rules/alerts will you use to adjust rates? Will you use technology to help with revenue management ?
- What will your online reputation management strategy be? How will you collect and respond to online reviews?
- What will your distribution mix look like? How will you drive reservations across a variety of channels?
10. Financial plan
Your financial projections are the most challenging but arguably the most important part of your hotel business plan. In this section, you should include the following:
- Start-up costs – how much money will you need from lenders to operate your hotel? Consider business licenses, furniture, down payments, etc.
- Operating costs – how much money will you need to keep your business running? Consider staffing costs, guest acquisition costs , mortgage payments, utilities, SaaS payments, etc.
- Income statement – what will your revenue, expenses, and profit be over the first 3-5 years of business?
- Cash flow projections – how will cash flow in and out of your business? Show what capital investment you’ll need to start.
- Balance sheet – identify your assets, liabilities, and equity.
If you’re looking for a potential investor, your financial plan will be the section they care about most. Here you must prove how your business will provide a return on investment. Don’t forget to include an Appendix that shows more detailed reporting and financial figures.

8 tips for creating an effective plan
1. Start with the section that excites you the most! Covering all the topics outlined above can feel overwhelming, so don’t feel pressured to go in order.
2. Reach out to a business owner you admire. No matter what type of business you’re starting, it’s always helpful to get advice from another business owner. Reach out to a successful local business owner to see if they’d be willing to share some insights they learned along the way.
3. Be concise. While there’s a lot to cover, you must be concise in each section of your plan. Include any additional research or documentation in the appendix to keep your business plan clean.
4. Try to avoid industry jargon. Depending on what type of investor is reading your plan, they may find jargon irrelevant and distracting.
5. Ensure you have a clear competitive advantage. You should be able to state in one sentence what makes your property unique. This selling point will be prominent in all of your marketing materials.
6. Set SMART goals. Setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals is important to stay organized and on track to reach milestones.
7. Don’t forget about your plan. You will have spent hours developing your plan, so make sure you use it! Reference your plan as you build and grow your business , and remember that it’s ok if things change.
8. Illustrate your passion. Communicate why you want to be a part of the hospitality industry. Passion is contagious and gives investors more confidence that you will work hard to achieve your dreams.
What do you need to start a hotel business?
Ok, so you’ve read through this article and are now wondering — what’s next? Ensure you have the following items on your radar to start your business.
- A vision. Know exactly what kind of business you want to build.
- A business plan. Stay on track with a well-developed business plan.
- A location. Decide if you want to build a new property or renovate an existing hotel.
- Capital. Do you need to raise an upfront capital investment? Remember that new businesses usually aren’t profitable for the first few years and will need cash flow to pay for expenses.

- Technology. Choose a hospitality management platform that can help you scale your business.

- Staff. Take time hiring staff you can trust and who understand your hotel’s brand and vision.

Industry Analysis

As consumers earn higher incomes and businesses replenish their budgets, travel spending is projected to increase over the next five years. Inbound trips by non-US residents are anticipated to rise 22% over next the five years, while domestic travel is expected to grow 9% during the same period.
The industry will see particularly strong growth in extended-stay hotels, boutique hotels, spa and health retreats and resorts segments. As demand for these auxiliary services picks up, industry employment is anticipated to recover and increase over the next five years.

Hotel Business Plan for starting your own hotel
Hotels are among some of the best businesses that you can start if you have the investment for it. As a matter of fact, if you want to invest a large sum of money in a business that has virtually zero risk, rental real estate business plan might just be the safest option.
We will give you a business plan for hotel that you can use to start your own hotel and make a lot of money while you are at it. This sample business plan for a hotel will follow the example of Hotel Intergalactic, a venture by John Abruzzi. Let us now see what business consultants have to say about this business.
Hotel Business Plan Summary
2.1 the business.
Hotel Intergalactic will be a 3-star hotel situated in downtown Los Angeles. The hotel will be registered with the local government and will be insured. The details of this business will be described in this executive summary for hotel with focus being on the way you can make lucrative profits by owning a hotel.
2.2 Management of Hotel Business
The next thing this business plan template for hotel needs to address is the way this hotel will be managed. For this, we will hire a manager to look after the day-to-day matters of the hotel. Other than the manager, one accountant and three assistant managers will be hired.
As this is a business plan for small hotel, we will not be hiring a lot of managerial staff to run it. The assistant managers will be responsible for procurement, operations, and customer service. The assistant managers will report to the manager who will act as an agent of the owner, John Abruzzi and will make decisions on his behalf in his absence.
2.3 Customers of Hotel Business
The customers of this free sample hotel business plan will be the following:
- People coming to visit Los Angeles.
- People who are in Los Angeles for business meetings.
- Los Angeles-based companies that need accommodation for their employees coming from other cities.
2.4 Business Target
The targets of Hotel Intergalactic are:
- Becoming the best hotel in Los Angeles.
- Starting to make a profit of $29,800 a month by the end of year 3.
- Expanding its services to at least other cities by the end of year 5.

Company Summary
3.1 company owner.
Hotel Intergalactic will be owned by John Abruzzi. John has a master’s degree in hospitality management and has been working in the hoteling industry for more than half his life. He knows the business and is passionate about it. He also has enough money to start the business. Combined, all these factors make him the perfect owner in this hotel business plan pdf.
3.2 Why the Hotel is being started?
John Abruzzi is one of the most prominent hotel managers in the area and that means if he starts a hotel people will know he means business. In this example of a hotel business plan, the main reason for starting this business is that this is a profitable business opportunity.
3.3 How the Hotel will be started?
Step1: Making a Feasibility Report
The next thing this new hotel business plan needs to discuss is the feasibility report. At this stage, a survey will be conducted to chalk out the demand and availability of hotels in downtown Los Angeles area. Any good hotel business plan sample doc needs to make sure of the thing that a proper feasibility report is made and the hotel is designed according to the demand in the area.
Step2: Developing a Brand
This hotel business plan, just like a resort business plans needs to cover another important thing. This is developing a brand. As the hotel is going to be in the heart of Los Angeles, it is cardinally important to have a brand.
Step3: Establishing the Hotel
As the hotel is to be constructed from scratch, the best-case scenario would’ve been an empty plot but that is not the case as the downtown Los Angeles area is fully covered by a concrete jungle. For this purpose, an apartment building will be bought and will be modified into a hotel.
Step4: Promotion and Marketing
Last, but not the least, the hotel needs to be promoted on all media channels to make sure people are aware of its existence and it attracts business.

Services of Hotel Business
A hotel business plan, unlike a home inventory business plan has a limited number of services. While a home inventory service business can offer a lot of services, a hotel business can only offer a few. Here’s an overview of the services Hotel Intergalactic will be offering:
- Accommodation
It goes without saying that the most important service offered by the hotel will be accommodation. The hotel will have 20 single-bed, 20 double-bed, and 10 twin-bed rooms for accommodating the guests.
- Banquet Service
The second most important service provided by Hotel Intergalactic will be that of a banquet. Three large halls will be made a part of the hotel and will be provided for everything from business meetings to birthday parties.
The top floor of the hotel will have an open-air rotating restaurant which will be open for the guests in the hotel and any other person coming in just for a meal.
- Bar and Lounge
The hotel will also feature a bar and a coffee lounge. These services will also be available for both the guests of the hotel as well as other people.
Marketing Analysis of a Hotel Business
Marketing analysis is the study of the various variables of the market that can affect the successful operation of a business. Any business plan for a hotel operation needs to shed light on this in order for the hotel to be successful. Before we get into the details of this business plan sample hotel industry, we need to have a look at the industry as a whole. There are just above 90,000 hotels in the US and more than $194billion change hands in this industry annually.
5.1 Market Trends
If you want to learn how to write a business plan for a hotel, you will have to closely study the trends of the industry. Just like making sample property management business plans , it is important to have an insight into the market before establishing a hotel.
The US hoteling market might have its seasonal ups and downs, but it has been noted in the past decade that the industry has seen a steady growth. The worth of this industry has increased from $133billion in 2009 to just under $200billion in the last decade. Industry experts and analysts are of the view that this industry will show a minimum of 5% growth by 2025.
Let’s now see more details of this hotel business plan outline.
5.2 Marketing Segmentation
One of the most important things to consider when planning any business is the market segmentation. You need to have a clear idea of the market segments that you are going to target and only then you can properly plan everything.
Apparently, the hoteling business is only for one market segment, the people who need a place to spend the night. However, there is more to the story that just that. Even a house painting business plan has multiple market segments. Any hotel can have customers and clients divided into a number of market segments. We will focus on four segments of the market via Hotel Intergalactic.

5.2.1 Individual Customers
Excellent work.
excellent work, competent advice. Alex is very friendly, great communication. 100% I recommend CGS capital. Thank you so much for your hard work!
Most of our customers will fall into this category. These will be the people who show up at the hotel and want a room. We will make every possible effort to make sure these customers go home happy and consider us the next time they need a hotel.
5.2.2 Companies
Companies need accommodation for their employees when they are on a meeting. This segment of the market will give us bulk business and we will offer them discounts to make them our loyal customers.
5.2.3 Bar and Restaurant Customers
As the hotel will have a bar and restaurant, the people coming to visit them will also be a segment of the market for us.
5.2.4 Banquet Customers
As the hotel is to have three banquet halls, this will also be an important market segment for us. We will rent out the halls for conferences, parties, weddings, birthdays and any other function people need them for.
5.3 Business Target
Our business targets are:
- To maintain the highest standards of client satisfaction.
- To become a well-known name in the industry.
- To expand the business to all the major cities of the US.
5.4 Product Pricing
Hotel Intergalactic will offer the services at a price comparable to that of the competitors. We might keep the price a bit lower than that of the competition at the start to attract customers but once we earn name, we will increase the prices.
Marketing Strategy of Hotel Business
The next important thing for opening a hotel business plan is the marketing strategy of the hotel. No hotel management company business plan can be complete if it has no marketing strategy. To make a workable marketing strategy, we need to do the following.
6.1 Competitive Analysis
The competitive analysis for Hotel Intergalactic has revealed the following:
- The competition in this field is immense in the area we are working in. We need to provide something extra to get customers.
- We will provide complementary dinner to our customers. No hotel in the area does this and this will give us a competitive edge.
- We will subsidize the companies who want accommodation for their employees so that they choose us over the other options.
6.2 Sales Strategy
- We will advertise the hotel through all the media channels in the area.
- We will partner up with travel agents and tour planners to get customers.
- We will offer discounts to companies who want to get accommodation for a large number of their employees.
6.3 Sales Monthly

6.4 Sales Yearly

6.5 Sales Forecast

Personnel plan
Another thing that needs to be made clear in this hotel resort business plan sample is the staff that we will need to operate the hotel. Unlike an RV park start up business plan , we will need a larger workforce to smoothly run the operations of the hotel.
7.1 Company Staff
- John Abruzzi will be the owner and CEO of the hotel.
- 1 General Manager.
- 2 Assistant managers.
- 1 Accountant.
- 1 Receptionist.
- 3 Waitresses.
- 2 Bartenders.
7.2 Average Salary of Employees
Financial plan.
The last thing to be discussed in this business plan is the budget for hotel business plan. As the hotel is being started from scratch, the following expenses are to be arranged:
- The cost of establishing the hotel.
- The cost of hiring the staff.
- The salaries of the staff for the first 6 months.
- The cost of buying cars for guest pick and drop.
- The money needed to advertise the hotel.
- The money needed to establish a web presence of the hotel.
8.1 Important Assumptions
8.2 break-even analysis.

8.3 Projected Profit and Loss
8.3.1 profit monthly.

8.3.2 Profit Yearly

8.3.3 Gross Margin Monthly

8.3.4 Gross Margin Yearly

It’s preposterous to open a business and operate it without a well-planned and well-written business plan. This is most especially important for a complex and competitive industry such as a hotel-based business. The business plan is the business owner’s roadmap on how to operate the different aspects of their business, what they want to achieve, and what financial, sales, and marketing conditions their business is in currently. However, creating a business plan is a big task that can be frustrating at times and some business owners give up because of it. It is important to remember that making a business plan can be a key to a business’s success; it is a requirement to propose investment opportunities to investors or screen your current business goals. If you need to create a business plan, this article will talk about how to create a hotel business plan.

8. Financial Plan
Provide the start-up costs and capital investments of your hotel, the ongoing business costs, operational expenses, and revenue projections for the next five years.
How much profit does a hotel make per room?
The monthly average revenue per available room in 2020 was around 36 U.S. dollars for hotels in the United States.
How much does it cost to run a hotel?
The cost to open a small hotel in the United States is around $1,000,000. The cost could even go higher than a million dollars.
Once you’re done writing your business plan, review it and revise any errors that you found. Errors such as grammar, spelling, and inaccurate information should be removed. If you find the task quite overwhelming, ask help from a colleague to help you write the business plan. You can also let the rest of your employees read the business plan so you can ask for suggestions on how you can improve it. Because no investor or lender will be interested in your hotel business if you cannot present a clear plan to them.

- Start Writing here... Distribution Strategy Start Writing here... Examples Eleven Palms Unlike products that are produced, then distributed, and sold, hotel and lounge services are produced and consumed simultaneously in a real-time environment. Thus, distribution issues center on making the services available in a convenient manner to the greatest number of potential guests. Eleven Palms will maintain a front office staff member throughout the night so guests are able to get answers to any question or service when they need it.

- Marketing Plan Start Writing here... Examples Eleven Palms Promotion strategies will vary depending on the target market segments. Given the importance of word-of-mouth referrals among all market segments when choosing a "getaway" hotel or small business meeting location, our efforts are designed to create awareness and build referrals. A cost-effective campaign— focused on direct marketing, publicity, our frequent guest reward program, and advertising—is being proposed. New Business Segment Start Writing here... Examples Eleven Palms A direct marketing (direct mail) package consisting of a tri-fold brochure, letter of introduction, and reply card will be sent to a list of potential guests. This list can be obtained from International Business Lists, Inc. (Chicago, IL) and is compiled from tax records (by upper-income geographical areas, Secretary of State incorporation registrations, business license applications, and announcements from newspaper clippings). Publicity and Public Relations Start Writing here... Examples Eleven Palms A news release will be sent to area newspapers and magazines announcing the launch of Eleven Palms, Inc. and lounge.
