Major Market News
Starwood Capital Before and AfterStarwood Capital is a large institutional real estate company who owns the 1 Hotel brand. Recently in 2018 they purchased the St Regis Princeville in Hawaii and rebranded to 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay with a $100m renovation. Across the 251 rooms this puts it at a ~$400k/room renovation for the hotel. What's also interesting is the company operating it as a St Regis had previously bought it when it was a Sheraton and then completed a $60m renovation to rebrand as St Regis.

Tips and Tricks
Tips
Knowing when to renovate a unit and the type of renovation to complete is crucial for the success of a property. Under renovating can "leave meat on the bone" but over renovating can hurt the properties cash flow. Often times investors will put it more expensive finishes than the potential tenant cares for and it will still rent well and hit the numbers, but could be done for slightly less money. Slightly less meaning $2000+ and doing that per unit across a sizeable property adds up very quickly.
