Transaction Advice
As your trusted advisor, I know the strengths and challenges of single hotel assets or portfolios and I am able to highlight or mitigate these points. Coupled with direct access to and relationships with senior decision makers at investment companies and banks, this is a key differentiator for every successful transaction process.
Pivotal decisions are generally made during face-to-face meetings – I will personally be by your side to negotiate and support you with tailor-made solutions.

Operator selection and contract negotiation
Determining which operator best addresses the needs of a specific property and owner is crucial for a sustainable long term hotel investment. However, having access to and enjoying the trust of senior decision makers in the hotel industry in both the development teams and the C-Suite adds substantial value during the selection and the negotiation process. The understanding of complex German and English contract structures as well as the creation of new, innovative, tailor-made solutions is where I will make the difference.

About me
A passion for hotel real estate.
My vocation commenced with an apprenticeship at Inter-Continental Hotels as well as initial managerial positions in hotel operations in Germany at Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Hamburg and Steigenberger Hotels. This was followed by a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Surrey, England. Upon graduating, I joined JLL for what was to be a 25-year career, in the end as International Director in Global in the Capital Markets team. During my time at JLL I mainly covered management positions in the hotel department in London, Frankfurt, New York and Munich, until 2016 as CEO EMEA Hotels & Hospitality. In 2019, I proceeded to establish Härle Hotel Solutions, a venture dedicated to providing clients with a personalized service that banks on my global experience in both hotel operations and real estate.
With a global network of hotel investors, operators and financiers, I pledge to deliver successful solutions to my clients whilst maintaining an uncompromising level of quality.
My knowledge and experience combined with my passion for hotel real estate are key to creating win-win situations in all aspects of the business. I am a result-driven trusted advisor who will accompany your process from start to finish while keeping the interests of all parties in focus:
Personal. Experienced. Successful.
