Collaboration with EHL

Wagner & Partners maintains a long-standing collaboration with one of the world’s leading hotel management schools, renowned for developing exceptional hospitality talent for global markets and industries.
As part of selected feasibility assignments, six dedicated final-year students are assigned exclusively to a single project over a two-month period. Intakes are in spring and autumn. Supported by finance and lead professors, the team develops highly comprehensive AI-assisted feasibility studies and strategic analyses, often exceeding 200 pages, combining academic excellence with practical market insight.
Representing the owner’s interests, Wagner & Partners actively guides the process through regular meetings and project coordination to ensure full alignment with the client’s vision and development objectives. This approach offers a highly cost-effective way to assess the viability and feasibility of major hospitality projects, delivering a level of depth and strategic insight that would typically require six-figure consulting fees from leading Big Four advisory firms.
