Savills Australian Hotel Transaction Review 2025

By transaction volume, Owner/Operators were the most active buyers in 2025, representing 30% of the total volume, compared to 16% in 2024. Investment Funds and Private Investors both represented about a third of acquisitions in 2025, although the limited availability of high-quality investment grade assets continued to constrain active capital. The rise of owner/operators investing in the Australian market reflects their strategic goals as they seek to complete their national and regional coverage. In 2025, there was an emergence of non‑traditional investors looking to convert hotels for alternative uses, particularly within the living sector.
