Core Insights - The hotel assets in China are becoming "abandoned" in the capital market, with a significant number of high-value hotel projects failing to sell at auction [2][4] - The transition from "real estate valuation" to "cash flow valuation" is causing heavy asset players to deleverage, while the recovery in tourism has not sufficiently covered the high depreciation and financial costs of older assets [4][11] Auction Market Dynamics - Over 90% of hotels priced above 10 million yuan are struggling to sell, with only 27 out of 442 auctioned projects successfully transacted as of August [11][12] - The Shanghai Yinhu Hotel, for instance, has failed to sell after multiple auction attempts, with its starting price dropping from approximately 1.427 billion yuan to 893 million yuan, yet still resulting in no bids [8][10] - The trend of unsold hotel assets is becoming commonplace, with several hotels, including the Dali Hilton and Shenyang Shimao Hilton, also failing to attract buyers [10][11] Financial Challenges - Many unsold hotel assets are burdened with issues such as bank loans, lease disputes, or judicial problems, making them unattractive to potential buyers [11][12] - The requirement for full payment or high down payments in judicial auctions is further limiting access for small investors, especially in a tightening credit environment [12] Market Competition and Performance - Despite the increase in hotel auction numbers, the overall demand for hotel stays is rising, with domestic travel showing significant growth in both the number of trips and total spending [18][19] - Major hotel chains like Shoulv Hotel and Huazhu Group are expanding aggressively, with Shoulv opening 664 new hotels in the first half of the year, reflecting a 39.5% increase [18][20] - However, the competition is intensifying, with new hotel products and services emerging, leading to a more challenging market for older hotels [18][21] Financial Performance of Hotel Groups - Among the major hotel groups, only four have achieved both revenue and profit growth, namely Huazhu Group, Atour Group, Huada Hotel, and Wanda Hotel Development [20] - The shift in investor focus from real estate value to cash flow has led to a situation where chain hotels are profiting while individual hotel owners are forced to sell their assets [21]
