What makes a hotel truly profitable, and why do so many promising ones fail?
Surprisingly, the answer isn't design or marketing hype. It is systems.
The Hotel Owner's Handbook is your practical, disciplined roadmap for building a successful property from the ground up. This book delivers the solution to your biggest challenge: turning a vision into a sustainable, profitable business.
Inside, you will learn how to:
- Position your hotel to stand out in a crowded market.
- Structure governance that empowers managers and protects your investment.
- Recruit and lead a team that delivers consistent excellence.
- Maintain financial discipline and stop hidden profit leaks.
- Future-proof your brand in an era of AI and shifting guest expectations.
Why this book? Author Bruce Prins is a hospitality executive who has distilled decades of experience, from running budget hotels to managing boutique luxury properties, into a single, proven framework.
This book is essential for:
- Entrepreneurs and investors entering hospitality for the first time.
- Existing owners seeking to strengthen governance, reduce risk, and grow margins.
- General Managers who want to align daily operations with long-term vision.

About the Author
Bruce Prins is an author and operational governance thinker whose work focuses on leadership under pressure, structural discipline, and founder-led organisational performance.
With over three decades in hospitality and operational leadership across South Africa and Nigeria, he has worked inside complex, founder-led environments where performance is shaped as much by internal governance as by strategy.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
