HOTEL STAR RATING

Hotel star rating systems rank hotels according to quality and are intended to serve as guidelines for customers who wish to make hotel reservations. At the design and planning stage, the hotel star rating systems will give the hotel planners and design consultants an idea of the quality and the approximate cost ranges that can be expected.

There is however no unified hotel star rating system across the world. Each country may have a single rating system, a few or none at all. There are certain well defined rating systems that we can make reference to, such as:

• China: The Government published booklet GB/7 14308-2010

• USA: Mobil Travel Guides and American Automobile Association

• France: The Government published guide

• Australia: Australian Automobile Associations

• UK: National Quality Assurance Standards overseen by Visit Britain

Most of the assessment criteria for the number of stars are based on objective facilities and services provided. These facilities and services may include:

• Room sizes and numbers

• Room acoustics

• Provision of heating and air-conditioning

• Provision of bathroom facilities

• Provision of recreational and business facilities

• Food and beverage outlets

• IT provision

• Electrical appliances

• Elevators

• 24 hours reception

• Fitting out standard – wow effects

Some of the international hotel chains have their own standard or rating.

While the star rating provides a very good reference at the planning and design stage of a hotel, it is important for the cost consultant to understand the standard or quality of the hotel expected from the client when the first cost plan is being developed.


There are several issues that may easily get confused or require attention at the early stage of the project development to avoid subsequent problems.

THE OpERATOR’S BuDGET AND THE pROjECT BuDGET

The confusion usually occurs at the FF&E (Furnishing, Furniture and Equipment) section of the budget. This should be clearly set out at the beginning of the project and agreed according to the operator’s requirement.

GuEST ROOm

The typical project FF&E budget usually includes:• Carpet• Curtain and tracks• Wallpaper• Bed and base• Headboard• Nightstand• Chest of drawers/Luggage rack• Refrigerator• TV and brackets

COmmON ISSuES

• TV Cabinet/Mini-bar• Armchair• Desk• Deck chair• Desk lamp• Sofa• Coffee table• Wall lights• Floor lamp

The operator’s budget includes but not limited to:• Mattress and Quilt• Bed spread, sheet and cover• Pillows and pillow cases• Artwork and sculptures• Cutlery, crockery, linen and uniforms• Loose hangers• Safe deposit box

• Shower curtain• Wastepaper bin• Hairdryers• Toiletries/Amenities• Kettles/Coffee machine• Glassware

利比 Rider Levett Bucknall | Hotel Sector4

RESTAuRANTS

The interior fitting out, loose furniture, A/V system, decorative light fittings and kitchen equipment usually are categorized in the project budget whereas the kitchen utensils, china, silver, flatware, hollowware, table linen, house linen and trolleys usually are grouped to operator’s budget.

BACk Of HOuSE

The interior fitting out and loose furniture usually include in project budget whereas office equipment such as the computer system, photocopiers, fax etc. are in operator’s budget.

ALTERNATIVE/SuBSTITuTE Of fINISHING mATERIALS

An interior designer is often appointed for a hotel project responsible for the design of the interior fitting out of the hotel. This is an important role as it communicates the brand and feel of the hotel to guests.

Many of the finishing materials, fabrics, light fittings, and loose furniture etc. specified or chosen by the interior designer will usually be the newest design or model from the market and sometimes they can be expensive designer brands carrying an extremely high price tag.

However, it is very common that at the time of tendering the tenderer will propose alternative materials or substitutes which may be similar to those items specified but at a much lower price at the time of return of the tender. It is important to understand from the client and the interior designer at the time of preparation of the budget whether they are prepared to accept alternative materials/substitute so that the budget shall realistically reflect what is expected at the time of the award of the interior fitting out contract.

INTERfACE BETWEEN INTERIOR fITTING OuT AND GENERAL BuILDER’S WORk

The price and quality of works carried out by the general builder and the interior fitting out contractor are usually different. In some circumstances it may be appropriate to combine the roles, and in some projects a higher quality of finish may dictate that the roles be separated.

EXISTING HOTELS STRATEGY

Experience in Dubai will shed some lights on the way forward for many of the existing hotel occurs worldwide.

Expo 2020 Dubai will undoubtedly further stimulate the recovering Middle East hotel market, reports Peter Kilby of international construction firm ISG, with a return to 2007/8 levels of activity and property prices.

The major challenge facing many of the established hotels in the region, and Dubai in particular, is the volume of hotel stock more than seven years old, set to be in direct competition with newly opened and planned developments in the run up to 2020.

The chart above shows that the number of hotel rooms older than seven years old represented only half of total room stock in 2013. The pace of development is dramatic and more than 12,600 new keys are expected to open by the end of 2016 (an increase of c. 21% over total supply in 2013).

Thus in order to maintain market position, performance levels and profitability over the long term, Dubai’s established hotels will need to invest in their existing assets.

CApEX BECOmING A pRIORITY

Staying on track with the standard refurbishment cycle in the hotel industry of between five and seven years can prove problematic in a relatively young and dynamic market. A situation that can be exacerbated by the limited choice of qualified providers.

Dubai is home to world renowned new-build contractors, but there are major opportunities in the market for specialists with the expertise and suitable skills-set required to refurbish operating hotels.

Factors to take into account when considering the implementation of a refurbishment program include:

• robust impact assessments

• plans and strategies to mitigate the effects of lost business

• strong reputation management and damage limitation.

ALTERNATIVE OpTIONS

Even with the benefit of a full refurbishment program, some hotels in Dubai may still fail to compete effectively in future against the much larger and more highly specified new hotels in the emirate (particularly at the high end). This leaves an owner with two alternatives to refurbishment, both of which have been exercised in recent years:

• Conversion to another brand: in the 1980s and 1990s, the hotel regularly achieving the highest performance levels was the former InterContinental Hotel on the Creek in Deira. It was rebranded to a Radisson Blu in 2006.

• Redevelopment: the former Metropolitan Hotel Sheikh Zayed Road was demolished in 2012 and its owner, Al Habtoor Group, is presently constructing the largest hotel complex in the UAE, which will include 3 luxury hotels with over 1,600 rooms and suites at a cost of AED 4.9 billion.


BuILDING HEIGHT

Increase in building height will generally result in an increase in the overall cost per unit area of a building, mainly due to extra structural loads for vertical members, wind loading, additional elevator requirements and the cost of vertical risers in mechanical, electrical and plumbing services.

BuILDING SHApE

Building shape or configuration is the first impression given to the guests and may be a key factor for them to select a hotel. Building shape may also depend on the designer’s/owner’s theme for the hotel. For example, Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel provides a Victorian style accommodation whilst Hong Kong Four Seasons Hotel provides a contemporary style with a curved building block which would explore the best view of the Victoria Harbour.

The cost of the structure and fa�ade varies directly with the building shape. Sample figures in the table below illustrate the effect of the varying plan shapes on the overall cost.

COST COmmENTARY

REGION A B C=B X 3 D=C/A

plan Size Area Girth Elevation Area per floor (Assume 3m floor height)

Elevation Factor*

m. m. sq. m. m. sq. m.

68 x 16 1,088 168 504 0.463

60 x 24 1,440 168 504 0.350

52 x 32 1,664 168 504 0.303

44 x 40 1,760 168 504 0.286

*Elevation Factor = elevation area per sq. m. of floor area

It shows that if the shape is squarer, less elevation area would be required to enclose the same floor area. Therefore, the elevation to floor area factor is lower, directly impacting the project cost. Different elevation materials will also have a significant impact on cost. Choices may be restricted by local planning or statutory legislation, but architectural feel may also be a factor.

ROOm SIzE

Room sizes would affect the overall construction cost per sq. m. The same floor area would accommodate more rooms if the room size is smaller, but in turn there will be more vertical elements per area and the amenities in the toilets and loose furniture will be denser for smaller room size. Therefore, if a hotel has more number of rooms in smaller sizes, the construction unit cost will be higher.

However, from the developer’s point of view, the construction unit cost per area will not be his only consideration in determining the size of rooms. He will have to consider factors such as the value of the land, the construction cost and the market rate per room.


ff&E

Each hotel is tailor-made to meet a particular market and the requirements of FF&E depend on the owner’s/hotel operator’s choice. FF&E shall be providing a comfortable sense, inviting and relaxing environments with services provided. Fittings and finishing must be strong and durable.

f&B

Food & Beverage services are one of the vital facilities leading to the success of the hotel. Design guidelines of high-end hotels would require a 24-hour operated restaurant. Cost of restaurants area depends on the theme and design and can range from US$2,500 to US$7,000+ per sq. m. Cost of kitchen area is about US$2,800 to US$3,200+ per sq. m. Display kitchens are much more costly.

IT pROVISION

IT provision is a technologically advanced service in newly built hotels. It can be as simple as providing an internet access point in a guestroom or extending to a wireless internet within all areas of the hotel. IT provision is about 2% to 5% of MEP cost or even more depending on the extent of the services.
