Capital Partners

An operator that speaks the language of capital.

Duco Hotels understands that a hotel is both a real estate investment and a business run day to day. That's why every partnership starts with the owner's investment objectives, and we shape our management model to support the asset's long-term value and commercial performance.

Partnership models

Partnership models

01

Hotel Management Agreement (HMA)

Base and incentive fee. The owner carries the profit-and-loss risk. Direct board involvement — not routed through a distant regional office.

02

Franchise + Management

Duco Hotels holds the franchise and manages operations under a single agreement.

03

Lease agreement

Duco Hotels leases the property and takes full responsibility for the asset's operating result; the owner receives fixed or indexed rental income. We actively offer this model.

04

JV / Co-investment

PropCo/OpCo or HoldCo structures for development-stage opportunities. Terms are project-specific and negotiated directly — every partnership model is shaped around the project.

The right structure depends on the asset, the investor's return requirements and the stage of the project.

Value creation

Value creation

Strong RevPAR

IDeaS G3 together with the brand's direct sales and booking channels consistently delivers a RevPAR index above the market. Higher RevPAR grows NOI and, in turn, asset value.

Efficient cost and profitability management

Centralised procurement and shared services across the portfolio. Managed hotels target a strong GOP margin at stabilised operations — reported monthly, not at year end.

Brand premium at exit

A hotel with a franchise agreement and a proven operating track record, run under a recognised international brand, achieves a materially higher exit multiple than an unbranded asset in the same location.

Flexibility

Our management agreements include clearly defined performance criteria and the owner's right to terminate if agreed targets are not met. This principle is part of every agreement we sign.
