The hotel feasibility study, done with discipline.
A feasibility study answers one question before capital is committed: should this project be built — and in what form? DolceVita's Performance & Market Diagnostic gives investors and developers a decision-ready answer, grounded in operating experience at the world's leading luxury hotel brands.
Every assumption, pressure-tested.
The study examines the market, the concept, the numbers, and the operator landscape — and delivers a recommendation you can take to a board, a bank, or a family council.
What does a hotel feasibility study cost?
DolceVita feasibility engagements start from €13,500 for the Performance & Market Diagnostic and scale with the complexity of the project — a single boutique property and a multi-phase resort masterplan are different undertakings. Fees are milestone-based and agreed upfront, so the investment is clear before work begins.
What moves the price
- Market complexity — an established Italian city or a greenfield Saudi destination
- Concept scenarios — one positioning tested, or several modelled against each other
- Scope — single asset, portfolio, or a component within a larger masterplan
- Fieldwork depth — desk research from Milan or on the ground in Italy and Saudi Arabia
How long does it take?
Most studies complete in four to six weeks, depending on market data availability and the specifics of the site. Findings are shared as they land — a red flag is raised the day it is found, never held for the final report.
Feasibility studies for the Kingdom.
Saudi Arabia is the world's most ambitious hospitality market — and the market where rigorous feasibility work matters most. New destinations mean limited historical data, giga-projects reset competitive assumptions, and operator appetite evolves quarter by quarter. DolceVita delivers feasibility studies across the Kingdom — combining Vision 2030 fluency with the Italian luxury pedigree behind the very brands Saudi Arabia is importing.
