Certificate in Hotel Real Estate Investments and Asset Management (CHREIAM017)

Certificate in Hotel Real Estate Investments and Asset Management (CHREIAM017) at LSTH

A hotel is two businesses at once — the operating business and the property it sits inside. The Certificate in Hotel Real Estate Investments and Asset Management (CHREIAM017) is an introduction to the second of those, designed for people who've always seen hotels from the operating side & want to start understanding the owner's view.

It's a focused certificate rather than a deep technical programme, but it gives you the right vocabulary to follow conversations about deals, valuations & performance.

Why Asset Management Has Become a Common Conversation

Owners are more involved in hotel performance than they used to be. Asset managers sit between the owner's interests & the operator's decisions, watching the numbers, the brand standards & the capex pipeline. The Certificate in Hotel Real Estate Investments and Asset Management (CHREIAM017) introduces the basic concepts — how hotel investments are framed, how asset management adds value, & how property performance is read.

Who the CHREIAM017 Is For

Operations staff curious about the owner's & investor's view of hotels.
Family-business members preparing to be more involved in property decisions.
Real estate or finance professionals exploring hotels as an asset class.
Students considering a longer programme like the BHDREI018 in future.
