How to lease a hotel in Columbus, OH
- Underwrite the market before the building. Whether it's a select-service hotel, boutique inn, extended-stay, or aparthotel, pull occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR benchmarks. Use Location Intelligence to gauge Columbus, OH demand drivers. The lease only works if the room-night math does.
- Choose your rent structure deliberately. Fixed indexed rent puts all performance risk on you; revenue-share runs around 20–25% of gross operating revenue; hybrid (base rent plus uplift) splits the difference. Pick the one matching your risk appetite.
- Stress-test the coverage ratio. Lenders and operators judge hotel leases by EBITDAR-to-rent coverage. Model downside seasons in the Lease Calculator and walk away if coverage approaches 1.0 in a bad year.
- Clarify who fits out and who reserves. Turnkey (owner-furnished) properties command higher rent than shell-and-core you fit out yourself. Define FF&E ownership, replacement reserves, and CapEx responsibilities line by line.
- Decide the brand question early. Leasing as an independent, adding a franchise flag, or hiring a manager on top of your lease (the “sandwich” structure) each layers different fees onto your rent. Total all obligations before committing.
- Fortify termination and force majeure. Twenty-year hotel leases have outlived pandemics. Negotiate termination rights, force majeure language, performance-based exits, and an SNDA protecting you if the building owner defaults or sells.
