Why DIH Solutions
Daniel Derilov leads every mandate himself, from the first operator approach to the negotiation of the commercial terms. Role and fee are agreed before the mandate starts.
01
Led personally
Daniel Derilov talks to operators, lenders and buyers himself and stays your contact from the first meeting to signing.
02
Direct operator outreach
Operators and hotel brands are approached directly, in Germany and abroad, either one by one and discreetly or in a competitive process.
03
Offers side by side
Rent, term, security package and investment obligations are compared for every offer. The operator P&L shows whether the business can earn the rent.
04
Through to the decision
DIH Solutions leads the commercial negotiations through to signing; legal counsel drafts the contract documentation.
05
On the owner's side
DIH Solutions works on the owner's side, not the operator's. Role, fee and interests are agreed before the mandate starts; there is no hidden dual representation in the same process.
DIH Solutions Deal Intelligence
Operator offers. Lease terms. Investment readiness. Made comparable.
DIH Solutions benchmarks operator offers, LOIs and leases against market data, comp sets and hospitality-specific benchmarks — for owners, developers and investors.

Operator Strategy
Operator Fit: Why operator selection determines exit value
