Condo hotel prices are running anywhere from 10-30% higher than typical condominiums. The reasons for the higher prices include:
- More amenities like upscale spas and restaurants are offered in condo hotels.
- Condo hotels offer the five star services not typically found in straight condos, like daily maid service and concierge.
- Condo hotels are usually sold 100% furnished, with top of the line furnishings, linens, silverware, art work etc. Condominiums are sold with just bare walls.
- Condo hotels are operated by the top hotel management companies in the world.
The gap between the sizes of condo units vs. condo hotel units is getting smaller. We are seeing very few of the new condo hotel buildings offering units that are under 500 sq. ft.
