Valor Hospitality now offers a dedicated Valor Advisory division, providing a full suite of advisory services to owners and managers of hotels, lodges, resorts, restaurants, financial institutions, and other hospitality sectors.
Our services include turnkey development project management, asset management, operations consulting, strategic planning, branding and bespoke marketing services, sales and reservations representation, market surveys, profit improvement plans, human capital and training support, food and beverage consulting and conceptualisation, and more.
Any hotel opening, refurb, conversion or turnaround project requires a masterplan. We excel at designing and constructing efficient and discreet interventions to match each client’s particular risk and return objectives. Investors, hotel owners and industry leaders turn to us for quick but strategic support, resource mobilisation and deployment, as well as change management.
A carefully crafted and bespoke Valor Advisory project always takes cognizance of prevailing socio-economic conditions in the relevant location of the hotel or group of hotels, the nodal investment landscape, socio-political factors, the competitor landscape and more – before we roll up our sleeves and provide a practical and sustainable dashboard for growth or an improved hospitality brand for owners – always delivered side-by side with your team.
This plan will guide owners or operators on the journey to better facility planning, revenues, cost controls, staffing structures, brand-relevant standards, smarter controls, branding, sales and segment solutions, revenue and pricing management, and more. Our clients call on us to deliver urgent market surveys, advice on investment plans – even step-changing the pace of profit improvement.
We pride ourselves on conceptualising and creating destination restaurants or uniquely branded experiences for guests delivered by passionate staff brand ambassadors.
We call it the The Science of Hospitality.
Many of our projects are bound by NDAs and discreet delivery against set objectives and scoping. Valor Advisory prides itself on delivering short and long term projects for hotel owners, managers, financial institutions, consulting firms and property developers.
From Zanzibar to Namibia, Malawi to Cameroon, the DRC , then Botswana – to luxury game lodge operators and wine estates in southern Africa – Valor Advisory has delivered many successful, bespoke services, working in partnership with our clients and partners.
