Chateau Joseph: a case study in hotel conversions in France

Abstract

Examines one particular case of French chateau development – Chateau Joseph. Considers the sources of capital, the conversion process and how initial cost estimates had to be dramatically revised upwards. Concludes that success in this sort of venture depends on: familiarity with the local laws, assessing values correctly, raising enough finance, and carrying out sufficient market research.
