• The Hilton Rhodes Resort is a 402-room five-star hotel with a beach-front


location, situated in Ixia, Rhodes. The property is one of the premier resort
hotels on the island.

• The hotel opened in 1993. It benefits from extensive conference and


leisure facilities, as well as large guestrooms (standard rooms of 32 m2).
The property has a total built area of approximately 62,250 m2 and stands
on a land plot of approximately 85,000 m2.

• Rhodes is the fourth largest Greek island and benefits from numerous
attractive beaches, unspoilt villages and historical attractions. The
island has the largest number of hotel beds of all Greece’s islands, which
combined with its accessibility and excellent climate, makes it a leading
Mediterranean leisure and convention destination.

• The hotel is located within walking distance from the island’s two largest
conference and convention centres, which are also two of the largest in the
Mediterranean region. Both are important demand generators for the hotel.

• From opening up to 2000, the hotel was operated by Grecotel. Since then,
the hotel has been operated by Hilton International under a management
agreement. This management agreement will be terminated upon a sale.

• In recent years, the hotel has performed well below its full potential.
Through improved operating efficiency, scope exists to substantially
improve the profitability of the hotel.

• The hotel is offered for sale by Ionian Hotel Enterprises S.A., a member of
the Alpha Bank Group.

Hotel History
Ionian Hotel Enterprises S.A. (the “Company”), a
member of the Alpha Bank Group specializing in hotel
assets management, undertook in 1987 the construction
of a hotel property in Ixia, Rhodes, currently operated
as the “Hilton Rhodes Resort” (the “Hotel”). Τhe architect
team consisted of renowned Greek professionals,
including Mr. Tombazis, Mr Dekavalas, Mr. Georgiadis,
and Mr. Kiriakidis.
Hotel construction was completed in 1993, and
the Hotel started operating under the management of
Grecotel S.A. The inauguration ceremony was conducted
on June 1993 and the Hotel assumed full operations
shortly afterwards under the name “Rhodes Imperial
Grecotel”.
The management agreement with Grecotel expired
on 31st December 2000 and Hilton International has
since undertaken the Hotel management and has
been operating the Hotel under the name the “Hilton
Rhodes Resort.”

Due to the ground incline, there is effectively no underground space. All of the
supplementary/supporting areas (engine room, laundry, parking, maintenance, storage, etc)
are internal, and usually located between floors 1 and 4. All storeys have balconies and all
floors are covered with wall-to-wall carpeting. Frames are metallic, doors are wooden with T30
fire protection grade, and the facades are covered with plaster.

SIZE AND POPULATION


The island covers an area of 1,398 square kilometers, and its population
exceeds 110,000 people.
WEATHER
Rhodes has around nine months of sunlight annually, which sets it as
the sunniest place in Greece and one of the sunniest in Europe. Its climate
is subtropical and healthy. Refreshing westerly winds moderate the summer
heat, while the winter is nearly always mild, with long periods of sunshine.
Temperatures range from 19°C to 35°C between April and October and from
10°C to 22°C between November and March.
RHODES
Rhodes’ rich history dates back to before 3000BC, when the first
inhabitants arrived. It was not, however, until around 1550BC when the
Minoans arrived followed by the Myceaneans and the Dorians in 1100BC,
that Rhodes began to flourish. Since then, numerous peoples and countries
ruled the island before it finally became part of Greece in 1948 along with all
of the other Dodecanese islands.

RHODES KEY ATTRACTIONS


The island is split into 10 Municipalities, each offering distinctive
attractions and catering to a variety of tourist interests:
Municipality of Rhodes - Home to the historic old town of Rhodes,
this is a region rich in history. The City of Rhodes was founded in 408BC.
Designed by architect Hippodamous, Rhodes became one of the most
beautiful cities of its period. The city was transformed into the medieval
city we still see today, when the Knights of St. John conquered the island
and built strong fortifications, magnificent buildings, wide roads and
numerous squares.
Modern Rhodes Town is currently inhabited by well over 60,000 residents.
It is also the first port of call for many visitors due to its commercial harbour.
The city’s infrastructure is well equipped for tourism and offers a wide variety
of entertainment from nightlife, shopping and beaches to historical sights,
family facilities and numerous parks and squares for relaxing.

HVS HODGES WARD ELLIOT T 41

The major attractions of the municipality of Rhodes include the


following:
• Old Town of Rhodes - the World Heritage listed that the “old town of
Rhodes is the largest inhabited medieval town in Europe”.
• Hellenistic Stadium - built in the 3rd century BC and used for the Alioi
Games.
• Roman Odeon - still used for events today.
• Temple of Pythion Apollo - the patron deity of the city.
• Aquarium- the most important marine Rhodes Aquarium
research centre in Greece.
• National Theatre - plays and concerts
are held here throughout the year.
• The temple of Aphrodite - dating back
to the 3rd century BC.
• Rodini Park - home of the famous Rhodian Deer. Also contains the
remains of an ancient necropolis and the Tomb of Ptolemy.
• Grand Master's Palace - once the headquarters of the leader of the
Order of the Knights of St. John. Now a museum containing important
archaeological finds from ancient and medieval Rhodes.
• City Art Gallery - containing works of art by Greek painters.
• Archaeological Museum of Rhodes - numerous exhibits including the
statue of Venus.

{ m a r k e t o v e rv i e w }

Municipality of Lalyssos - This is a thriving and popular tourist resort region, with modern hotels
suitable for holidaymakers, business travellers and conferences alike. Its location on the north westernly
part of the island protects it from the strong southerly winds, making it a haven for watersports. Inland, the
region has an abundance of archaeological sites, with picturesque countryside and excellent sea views.
Municipality of Kallithea. Stretching the length of Faliraki beach, the region has numerous
churches which are well worth visiting, but what really attracts the crowds are the beaches, the hotels,
entertainment and Italianate spas. Kallithea Bay is home of the Italian spa complex and exotic vegetation,
while Traganou beach exhibits impressive rock caves.
Municipality of Petaloudes - The region comprises numerous villages, communities and valleys.
Although very much a rural area, tourism to the municipality is starting to grow. There are many
attractions here from Byzantine monasteries and churches to unique flora and fauna. The villages are
also very welcoming, and locals and tourists mix in the traditional village tavernas. Key attraction is the
Petaloudes (“Butterflies”) Valley, an area of natural beauty famous for its panaxia quadripunctaria butterflies.
Municipality of Afandou - Combining the villages of Afandou, Kolymbia and Archipoli, this is a very traditional region where locals still retain their customs and simple
manners. It has plenty to offer to visitors, especially outdoor pursuits. Main attraction is a 18-hole golf course, close to Afandou beach, that is open year round. Little Afandou
train, great for families, makes the circuit round all the interesting sights in the region, including the beach at Afandou Bay.
Municipality of Kamiros - This is one of the most important regions of Rhodes, with numerous historical sites and areas of natural beauty. The ruins of the ancient city
of Kamiros were discovered in the 19th century and are still open today for visitors to see. There are many monasteries throughout the region. Salakos, a traditional village at
the foot of Profitis Ilias, is known for its picturesque countryside and natural springs and is ideal for walkers. The Church of Agios Nikolaos is one of the most beautiful and
esteemed Byzantine churches in the Mediterranean region.
Municipality of Archagelos- Probably one of the most traditional regions of Rhodes, the municipality of Archangelos still retains its particular character. While the
region has hotels for visitors, they are family run affairs, rather than the larger hotels found on the rest of the island. Natural beauty is unmatched combining a beautiful valley

HVS HODGES WARD ELLIOT T 43


the hilton rhodes resort
i x i a , g r e e c e

with clear springs and enormous plane and pine trees, and small picturesque
harbours. There is also much evidence of arts and crafts since pottery and
hand-made tapestries are still practised.
Municipality of Ataviros - Mt. Ataviros is the highest mountain on
Rhodes, overlooking the other nine villages that make up this region.
The area is a combination of mountainsides covered with vineyards and
villages, rugged coastline and isolated beaches. The stunning ruins of the
Medieval castle of Kritinia, and the castle of Monolithos are a few remnants
of past glory.
Municipality of Lindos - Combining several picturesque villages, this
region is steeped in history with the main point of interest being the huge
Acropolis. Built on a steep rock 116 metres high, the Acropolis overlooks
the town of Lindos, which it has protected since the 4th century. Lindos is an
attractive town with unique architectural style of pretty houses, magnificent
flower filled courtyards and narrow streets with tavernas, shops and
restaurants.
Municipality of Southern Rhodes - Rhodes’ largest region, Southern
Rhodes is made up of 12 villages and is very different from the rest of the
island. Most of the villages date back to medieval times and have retained
their unique character. Apolakia Dam, an important development on this
part of the island, has been built to create a natural reserve and is home to a
variety of unusual plant and bird life.

SERVICE OFFERING AND BUSINESS MIX


The hotel is largely aimed at the leisure package and convention markets.
HOTEL PACKAGES TOURISM

The most prevalent tourism type worldwide and in particular in Rhodes, hotel packages address the annual vacation
needs of families, couples and friends’/relatives’ companies. The size of the hotel, as well as its offerings across lodging,
dining and entertaining can make it suitable for the variety of ages and interests of this group.
CONVENTION TOURISM

The Island of Rhodes is a top-of-mind conference destination in the wider Mediterranean and South Eastern European
region, due to the overall proposition of the Island, its mild weather conditions, location, natural beauty, as well as the recent
investments in large-scale convention facilities. Attracting convention tourism is a key marketing strategy for the hotel that can
allow for extension of the regular “annual season” before April and beyond October. Proximity to the two largest conference
centers of the island (and most fully equipped in the Mediterranean sea) of total capacity around 8,000 people makes the
universe of National or International Conference-related partnerships endless.
Tour Operators consistently make up the largest proportion of business, with Groups/Incentives (corporate events)
second. Under Grecotel Management, the focus was primarily on tour operator business. Hilton have increased the emphasis
on the group and incentive segment.

in the hotel’s clientele mix, and finally, the property is becoming increasingly popular over the last few years with Israeli crowd.

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE
The Hilton Rhodes Hotel has been operating fully since 1994. During the period 1994 – 2004 the hotel has been managed by two specialised operators, namely Grecotel
S.A. (1994-2000) and Hilton International (2001-2004). The financial performance of the hotel has been following a mixed trend, steadily improving in the first half of the
period, – peaking in 1999 – and presenting moderate results henceforth.
Factors contributing, among others, to recent results can be attributed to the 11 September 2001 terrorist attack in the U.S., which severely affected global tourism, the
war in Iraq, the tardy implementation of a strategic plan from the Greek Ministry of Tourism, the economic slowdown on both sides of the Atlantic and the European Tour
Operators status.
The table below summarily presents the key financial indicators of the Hilton Rhodes Hotel for the period 1994-2004

PERFORMANCE POTENTIAL
The management of Ionian Hotel Enterprises S.A. has identified
numerous factors which should contribute to a substantial improvement
of the hotel’s financial performance:
• Increase cost efficiency and achieve improved cost/income ratios,
in alignment with those of comparable hotels, and particularly
with regard to personnel costs.
• Establish relationships with local operators and improve
relationships with current partners.
• Develop new partners in the local market in order to increase
exposure internally, and enhance domestic tourism.
• Target other distribution channels’ untapped potential, in order to
shift the business mix toward more lucrative customers.
• Place emphasis on recurring business.
• Extend the operating period through the offering of specialty
tourism and selective targeting of customers.
• Refurbish rooms, the health club and upgrade restaurants, so as
to maintain a market leading position in terms of facilities as a
premium hotel of 5-star status.

BASIS OF SALE
The hotel is offered for sale by Ionian Hotel Enterprises.
The contemplated sale can be effected via the two alternative structures
presented below:
1. Asset Sale: the most straightforward route*.
2. Company Sale: more complicated and potentially time consuming
structure where:
Either,
a. Ionian Hotel Enterprises spins off the business unit of Hilton Rhodes
Hotel to a 100% subsidiary of the company (no taxes incurred).
Subsequently, it sells the shares of the non-listed subsidiary company
to the Selected Investor and incur a tax on the transfer of non-listed
shares (approx. 5%) calculated on the value of the transaction.
Or,
b. Ionian Hotel Enterprises spins off the business unit of Hilton Rhodes
Hotel to a company indicated by the selected investor. Subsequently,
it will receive shares equal to the book value of the transferred assets,
and can transfer sell these to the Selected Investor, incurring a tax on
the transfer of non-listed shares (approx. 5%) calculated on the value
of the transaction.
* the purchaser will incur an asset transfer tax of 11%
