At first investors asked me for hotels with 80 rooms or more. Now most of my requests are for 20 to 50 rooms, and that includes the large luxury brands. It’s a very noticeable shift towards smaller hotels, with more attention for the guest and a much bigger focus on the people who work there. So a hotel with 30 rooms is not too small anymore, it’s exactly what the market is asking for.

In my humble opinion and past experiences, I can advocate for between 150-200 rooms for a hotel to call itself still luxury and yet operate profitable. The ADR positioning should sit above €450+, staff to rooms ratio should not go below 3.

We have only four rooms, with a good stand-by room not bookable online, and 2 more rooms to be completed. I think when those two are ready, we will be the perfect size to retain the attentive service and increase our margin.

www.kebaru.com is going to be 32 rooms, but have a large commercial space as the location will have many outside guests use the commercial facilities. As you move up and away from the beach, the resort gets more exclusive. Does this sound like an Ok plan?
