The investment brings together Hotelivate’s deep sector expertise and the global Savills real estate platform and reach to create a scaled, institutional-grade hospitality advisory offer under a unified brand, Hotelivate-Savills.

The investment comes at a pivotal moment for hospitality markets across Asia Pacific. Strong operating performance, expanding branded supply and rising cross-border capital flows have repositioned hotel and branded residence assets as core institutional real estate. As mandates grow in scale and complexity, owners and investors increasingly require advisory platforms that integrate sector insight, capital structuring and transaction execution within a single, coordinated framework.

Over the past decade, Hotelivate has built the region's most respected specialist hospitality advisory platform, advising owners, developers, operators and institutional investors across strategy, feasibility, operator selection, asset management and transactions. The firm's offices across Delhi, Mumbai, Bangkok, Dubai, Jakarta and Singapore will remain operational, with expanded access to the wider Savills regional network.

Hotelivate-Savills combines deep sector-specialist hospitality expertise with Savills’ full-service real estate platform across capital markets, valuations, transactions, project management and cross-border advisory in over 70 countries. The integrated model aligns strategy, capital advisory and execution from the outset.

Martin Fidden, CEO, Savills Asia Pacific (ex-Greater China), said: "South Asia is a priority market for Savills in APAC, and this acquisition reflects our strong commitment to its long-term growth. Our continued investments position us well to expand into specialist areas like hospitality advisory.”

Anurag Mathur, CEO, Savills India, said: "This marks an important step in the evolution of Savills in India. Eight years into our journey, we have reached the scale and organisational maturity to invest selectively in specialist capabilities aligned with market opportunities. We are delighted to welcome Hotelivate to Savills. With strong tailwinds across South Asia’s hospitality sector, this investment strengthens our offer and enables us to deliver deeper, more integrated advisory services to clients across the region.”

Manav Thadani, Founder & Chairman, Hotelivate, said: "We have built Hotelivate as a sector-focused advisory platform grounded in relationships, market insight and deep specialisation. This investment by Savills enables us to scale that platform in a more institutional manner, enhancing our ability to serve increasingly sophisticated investors while preserving the sector depth that defines our firm."
