ACROSS Retail Talk: “Retail And The Hotel Industry” – A Possible Win-Win-Win Situation For Investors, Developers, And Hoteliers

“Development in the future can only be a win-win-win situation, if you can tighten the building, and make it more profitable on the space per sq m” – Making use of the available space as efficiently as possible is one of the key components of a successful retail-hotel synergy.

When combined, the result is an even better mix of uses and, therefore, a win-win situation for everyone involved, explains Torsten Kuttig, Director Hotel Development at ECE Work & Live.
