Complete Guide to Leasing Hotels, Resorts, and Homestays

Powered by Lekhwar Hospitality

 What Is Property Leasing in Hospitality?

In the hospitality industry, property leasing means a hospitality operator (like Lekhwar Hospitality) takes over the management and operations of a hotel, resort, or homestay from a property owner for a specific period. The operator pays a fixed rent, a revenue share, or a combination of both, while handling the guest services, staffing, marketing, and maintenance.

 Types of Leasing Models

1. Fixed Lease

  • Guaranteed monthly/annual rent paid to the property owner.

  • Operator takes on the full operational risk and reward.

2. Revenue-Sharing Lease

  • Operator pays a percentage of total revenue or profits.

  • Owner shares both risks and benefits with the operator.

3. Hybrid Lease (Minimum Guarantee + Revenue Share)

  • Combines both models: fixed base rent + a share of revenue above a certain threshold.

 Types of Properties We Lease or Manage

 1. Hotels

  • 10–100 rooms

  • Located in cities, tourist zones, or business hubs

  • Ideal for corporate, transit, and group travelers

 2. Resorts

  • Located in scenic, rural, or leisure-focused destinations

  • Offer amenities like spas, pools, nature walks, and family activities

  • Ideal for weekend getaways, weddings, and retreats

 3. Homestays

  • Small-scale local properties (1–6 rooms)

  • Hosted or standalone, offering authentic experiences

  • Focused on budget-conscious, cultural, or long-stay travelers

 How to Find the Best Locations (Lekhwar’s Location Strategy)

Finding the right location is crucial. At Lekhwar Hospitality, we follow a data-backed and experience-driven approach to selecting properties.

 Key Criteria We Use:

  1. Tourist Demand & Seasonality

    • Hill stations (Mussoorie, Shimla) – year-round, with peak in summer/winter

    • Heritage towns (Jaipur, Lucknow) – ideal for weddings & culture tourism

  2. Connectivity

    • Proximity to airports, highways, railway stations

    • Near popular attractions or major city centers

  3. Infrastructure

    • Reliable electricity, water, internet, parking, and security

    • Scope for property upgrades or extensions

  4. Market Gaps

    • Underserved areas lacking branded hotels or quality homestays

    • Locations with high footfall but poor service offerings

  5. Government Tourism Push

    • Areas supported by tourism policies (Uttarakhand, Himachal, Rajasthan)
