Access you can't buy off the shelf
Direct relationships with owner families and local advisers reach properties that never get a broker's mandate.
Opening South Tyrol's hotels to international capital
The Hiller Chen Company acquires, repositions, and operates family-run Alpine hotels in the Dolomites, pairing US and UK investors with one of Europe's most supply-constrained hospitality markets.

Owners are retiring
The hotel owner
Three generations built this hotel. Nobody in the family is ready to take it on, and a public listing would be the talk of the valley.
Capital can't get in
The investor
The fundamentals are exceptional, but the best properties never reach a broker and business runs in German and Italian.
HillerChen connects the two: a discreet, committed buyer for family hotels, and a trusted route into the Dolomites for investors.
Beyond capital
Succeeding here takes more than money. It takes fluency in the market's micro-dynamics, established local relationships, and ease in a bilingual German-Italian business culture.

Your team stays
We keep management and staff in place and invest in their development. The hotel keeps the people who made it.
Investors
Selective, aligned capital
We accept capital only from small, privately held investment houses and qualified HNWIs, and keep management in-house.
Owners
Your legacy honoured
We buy to build on what you created. Heritage, name, and standing in the community are assets we protect.
