Choose the service you need now
Most owners start with one service and add others as the project moves forward. Each page explains what is included, how long it takes and what you receive.
Hotel brand tie-up and affiliation
Shortlist the right brands for your site, run a competitive process and negotiate the management or franchise agreement in your favour.
Hotel feasibility study and market research
An honest, bank-ready answer to whether your hotel will work: demand, positioning, room count, capex and a ten-year projection.
Hotel development consulting
From land to opening day: concept, facility planning, approvals, budgets, timelines and the team that builds it.
Hotel design and technical advisory
Layouts that meet brand standards and earn their space: room mix, back-of-house, MEP and design reviews before money is spent.
Hotel pre-opening consultancy
A structured countdown to opening: hiring, SOPs, systems, licences, operating supplies and a soft opening that goes to plan.
Hospitality asset management
An owner’s representative who holds the operator to the budget, reviews performance every month and protects your returns.
What hotel consultancy services actually cover
“Hotel consultancy” is used loosely in India. For some firms it means a feasibility report; for others it means interior design, staffing or a sales agency for a brand. When owners compare quotes, they are often comparing completely different things. So it helps to be precise about what Amit Parmar’s hotel consultancy services include and, just as important, what they do not.
Included: every decision that shapes the investment
Amit’s work is concentrated on the decisions that decide whether a hotel makes money for its owner. They fall into six groups, which map onto the stages of a hotel project:
- Should we build, and what? Feasibility study and market research answers whether the market supports a hotel on your site, of what size and at what rate.
- Who should run it, and on what terms? Brand tie-up and affiliation advisory finds the right brand or operator and negotiates the contract.
- How do we get it built? Hotel development consulting turns the concept into a budget, a programme and a team.
- Is the design right? Design and technical advisory reviews layouts and services against brand standards and operating reality.
- Will it open well? Pre-opening consultancy manages the last nine to twelve months before the doors open.
- Is it performing? Hospitality asset management represents the owner in the years after opening.
Not included: work that creates a conflict of interest
Amit does not sell construction, furniture, operating supplies or software, and does not act as a hotel operator. He does not take commissions from brands. If your project needs an architect, an interior designer, a quantity surveyor or a recruitment agency, he will help you choose and brief them, and review their work on your behalf, but he will not be paid by them. That separation is what makes his advice useful.
Which service fits your stage?
A quick way to find the right starting point. If you are unsure, the first call will settle it.
| Where you are | Typical question | Service to start with |
|---|---|---|
| Land or building, no plan yet | Is a hotel the right use, and what kind? | Feasibility study |
| Feasibility done, talking to brands | Which brand, and are these terms fair? | Brand tie-up advisory |
| Brand signed, design starting | How do we keep cost and time under control? | Development consulting |
| Drawings ready or construction under way | Will this layout work for guests and staff? | Design and technical advisory |
| Nine to twelve months from opening | How do we hire, train and launch on time? | Pre-opening consultancy |
| Hotel open for a year or more | Why is profit lower than the projection? | Asset management |
How engagements are scoped and priced
Every engagement begins with a free first conversation and, where useful, a short site visit. Amit then sends a written proposal that sets out the scope, the deliverables, the timeline and a fixed fee, usually split by stage so that you can stop after any stage if the answer changes your plans.
Fees depend on the size and complexity of the hotel, the number of stages and the amount of travel involved. A feasibility study for a 50-room business hotel in a tier 3 city is a much smaller piece of work than end-to-end advisory for a 150-room resort, and is priced accordingly. Asset management is usually a monthly retainer.
What you will not find is a percentage of the construction cost or a success fee paid by a brand. Both would give the adviser a reason to recommend a bigger building or a particular brand. Amit’s only financial interest is in being asked back.
One adviser from start to finish
The biggest advantage of using the same consultant across services is continuity. The assumptions in the feasibility study become the targets in the brand negotiation; the brand’s technical standards are checked against the budget during design; the operating budget agreed before opening is the benchmark for asset management afterwards. Nothing gets lost between consultants, and nobody can blame the previous adviser.
How every engagement works
- 1
Listen A first conversation, free and confidential, about your land or building, your budget and what you want from the hotel.
- 2
Diagnose A site visit and a quick read of the market, so the advice starts from facts rather than from a brand’s sales deck.
- 3
Recommend A written scope with clear deliverables, timelines and a fixed fee, so you know exactly what you are buying.
- 4
Deliver Studies, shortlists, negotiations, design reviews or a pre-opening plan, with Amit personally accountable for the work.
- 5
Stay close Monthly reviews with the operator after opening, if you want them, so the hotel keeps earning what it promised.

What are hotel consultancy services?
Hotel consultancy services are professional advice to hotel owners and investors on planning, branding, building, opening and running a hotel. Amit Parmar’s services cover six areas: brand tie-ups, feasibility studies, development consulting, design and technical advisory, pre-opening and asset management.
Can I hire you for just one service?
Yes. Each service has its own scope and fee. Many owners start with a feasibility study or a brand tie-up and decide later whether to continue.
How much do hotel consultancy services cost in India?
It depends on the size of the hotel, the services required and the travel involved. Amit quotes a fixed fee per stage after the first conversation, so there are no surprises. Ask for a proposal through the enquiry form.
Do you work on resorts, heritage hotels and banquet properties?
Yes. Amit’s work includes business hotels, upscale and five-star hotels, nature resorts and banquet-led properties. The method is the same; the market questions differ.
Where do you work?
Across India, with 40+ cities covered so far. Engagements are run from Gurugram, with site visits wherever the project is.
