An aparthotel is one of the most actively advertised investments in recent years: you buy a room, the management company rents it out, and you earn income. A regular apartment is a simpler and more “classic” option. Which one is better?
How an aparthotel works
You own a room that is rented out by a management company (often a branded hotel). The income is shared between you and the operator, or you receive a guaranteed income for a certain period. Hotel-type income, Galt & Based on Taggart’s study of Batumi, it may exceed the rent of a typical apartment — but it largely depends on the operator.
Compare
| Parameter | Aparthotel | Ordinary apartment |
|---|---|---|
| Driving | Operator, your time — minimal | You or an agent |
| Income | Potentially high, seasonal | Stable, medium |
| Commission | Often a significant portion of income | Minimal |
| Personal use | Limited (a few days a year) | Complete |
| SALE | Less liquid, narrow circle of buyers | More liquid |
| – PARTY | Small room (even without a kitchen) | A fully equipped home |
“Guaranteed Income” — What to Check
- Who provides the warranty? And what does he answer with?
- How many years? The warranty is valid. What happens next?
- The warranty isn’t just…Included in the price — Are you paying more for the room than the market price?
- Terms of contract termination and the possibility of changing the operator.
How to calculate the real return
Net return = (Annual income − Commission − Utilities − Maintenance − Taxes) ÷ Purchase price
Compare both options using the same formula — the advertised “gross” percentage rarely reflects reality.
For whom and which one?
- Aparthotel — For those who do not live in Georgia or do not have time to manage, and who choose a strong operator.
- Apartment — For those who want flexibility, personal use, and easier resale in the future.
