About

Luxury is not a look. It's an essence.

Who we are

A joint venture between a London hospitality operator and a Prague real estate house.

Valqueira brings together Pesqueira Global, Emanuel Pesqueira's hospitality consulting and management firm in London, and Value Connect s.r.o., the Prague hotel real estate advisory led by Aleš Machač. Each firm continues on its own. Valqueira is where the two disciplines meet on a single asset.

We are deliberately small. Two principals, a handful of trusted specialists, and a network of more than 500 verified investors and 200 operator relationships built over two careers. Offices in Prague and London; work across the whole of Europe.

Our philosophy

Neither of us reads only the file.

Emanuel reads the business: whether the restaurant is carrying the property or quietly bleeding it, whether the service culture will survive a new owner. Aleš reads the building: structure, plant, the mechanics of it, whether a capex figure survives contact with the basement. Most advisers read one or the other. Most brokers read the file. We insist on both, which is why we can move from agreed terms to completion in 45 to 60 days without surprises.

Leadership

Two founders. Opposite ends of the same asset.

Emanuel Pesqueira

Co-founder · London · operations, brands and food and beverage

Twenty years on the floor of some of the most demanding hospitality businesses in Europe: Crystal Cruises, Red Carnation Hotels, the Oxford and Cambridge Club, InterContinental Hotels Group, Edwardian Hotels, and latterly Group Head of Wine at Gordon Ramsay Restaurants, where his lists were named among the world's best for five consecutive years.

He founded Pesqueira Global to bring that operating depth to owners and investors: how a property actually trades, what an operator will really deliver, and where the value in a hotel sits when the building is taken away.

Aleš Machač

Co-founder · Prague · real estate and transactions

Chief Executive of Value Connect s.r.o., the Prague advisory with more than thirty years' experience in hospitality real estate: sales, purchases and leases of hotels, aparthotels, serviced apartments and student housing, turnkey investment solutions, and consulting on new accommodation projects from preparation to opening.

His record across Europe is the spine of Valqueira's transaction figures: more than one hundred million euros of hotel transactions, a 95% completion rate under mandate, and completions in 45 to 60 days against an industry norm of 90 or more.

What we stand for

Sustainability

Built into every acquisition and operation, not added to the brochure afterwards.

Longevity

Assets, concepts and health that endure. We prefer the owner who will still be there in twenty years.

Respect for the neighbourhood

Buyers and operators who add to the place. It is how the Alpine mandate was won, and how we choose who to introduce.

The network

The houses the founders have worked for and with.

Gordon Ramsay Restaurants, InterContinental Hotels Group, Red Carnation Hotels, Edwardian Hotels, the Oxford and Cambridge Club, Accor, Louvre Hotels Group, Crystal Cruises. Owners, operators and investors across Europe.

Names are listed as record, not endorsement. What matters to a client is that when an operator, a brand or a buyer is needed, the first call is to someone we already know.
