In the absence of a wealth of recent comparable transactions, we have also developed a scenario analysis to help illustrate the various conditions a hotel might have experienced. We have then compared this with a ‘base case’, illustrating how the hotel’s performance ought to have evolved in the absence of the COVID pandemic, which is based on a typical European hotel.”
