The Future of Hospitality · 2026-07-20 · 46 min
A hotel is an investment first, and someone has to protect its value for twenty years. Rastko Djordjevic, Managing Director of JLL Asset Management EMEA, joins Luc Boschmans to explain what hotel asset management really is: maximising an asset's value across the whole holding period, not running the day to day. He separates owner, operator, and advisor, then shows the work through real cases, a renovation phased to the Olympics that lifted suite ADR by more than 40 percent, a hotel taken standalone during COVID, and how he matches a general manager to the moment a property is in.
