Hotels & Private Clubs | Fine Art and Antique Appraisal Services in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County, and Santa Barbara

 

In the world of luxury hospitality and private membership clubs, every detail tells a story—and art is often the centerpiece. Original paintings, rare antiques, sculptures, and design elements elevate an environment, inspire emotion, and communicate prestige. Yet, behind every curated collection lies an essential responsibility: accurate valuation, documentation, and protection.

​

Since 1975, Robert Levy at ARTXPRT – The Beverly Hills Appraisal Company has provided professional, certified art and antique appraisal services for hotels, resorts, and private clubs across Southern California, including Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, and Santa Barbara. His appraisals are USPAP-compliant and accepted by the IRS, insurance providers, and auditors, ensuring each piece is properly valued and protected for insurance, asset management, or acquisition purposes.

​

For nearly five decades, hospitality and private club clients have trusted Robert for his discretion, accuracy, and deep understanding of art’s role in shaping experience and brand identity.

 

 

The Role of Art in Luxury Hospitality and Private Clubs

 

Art transforms a space into an experience. In luxury hotels, fine art defines ambiance, enhances guest perception, and reinforces brand identity. In private clubs, it reflects heritage, exclusivity, and the values of its members. Whether it’s a contemporary sculpture in a hotel lobby or antique furnishings in a private dining room, these assets hold both cultural and financial significance.

​

However, art and antiques also represent substantial capital investments that require professional appraisal. Accurate valuation protects against loss, supports insurance coverage, ensures compliance with accounting standards, and informs strategic acquisition or donation planning.

​

For hotels and private clubs, an updated, independent appraisal is not only a financial safeguard—it’s an operational necessity.

We value our clients’ privacy and handle every assignment with utmost discretion, protecting both the institution’s reputation and its collection’s security.

 

 

The Importance of Regular Appraisal Updates

 

The art market is dynamic. Values shift based on artist reputation, auction activity, and collector demand. For hotels and private clubs, outdated appraisals can lead to underinsurance, coverage disputes, or inaccurate asset reporting.

​

We recommend a review every 3–5 years, or whenever a major acquisition, renovation, or insurance policy renewal occurs. Updated valuations ensure accurate financial records, compliance with insurance requirements, and continued protection of your investment.

 

 

Our Appraisal Process

 

Our process is designed for accuracy, efficiency, and minimal disruption to your operations.

1. Consultation – We discuss your goals, intended use, and reporting requirements.

2. On-Site Examination – Our appraiser visits your property to inspect, document, and photograph each item.

3. Research and Valuation – We conduct comprehensive market analysis, referencing auction data and comparable sales.

4. Report Preparation – A USPAP-compliant appraisal is prepared, complete with images, descriptions, and value conclusions.

5. Delivery and Support – Reports are delivered digitally or in print, with follow-up consultation for insurance, accounting, or risk management teams.
    

This process ensures that your organization receives a clear, defensible, and fully documented valuation report that meets professional standards.

 

 

Supporting the Hospitality Experience Through Art

 

The hospitality industry understands that art is not just a design element—it’s part of the guest journey. A well-curated art collection reflects a property’s story, values, and cultural identity. For private clubs, it reinforces exclusivity and fosters an environment of tradition and refinement.

​

ARTXPRT’s appraisal services empower hospitality professionals to manage these assets with confidence, ensuring every work is properly valued, protected, and preserved for future generations.
