Ross Woods is a hotel investment strategist and advisor with more than 30 years of global experience spanning the full hospitality investment life cycle — from acquisition and development through operations, optimisation, and eventual disposition. Based in Bali, he works across Indonesia and Southeast Asia, advising developers, owners, operators, lenders, and policymakers on how to design and govern hospitality assets for long-term, risk-adjusted value.

Ross is the Founder and Head of PT Hotel Investment Advisory, a boutique consultancy specialising in feasibility studies, investment strategy, asset management, and destination-level analysis.

Ross is known for combining measurement and meaning — bringing rigorous, data-driven frameworks to questions often treated qualitatively in hospitality. He frequently notes that ideas only become truly actionable when they can be expressed, tested, and compared through numbers, probabilities, and scenarios. His work integrates quantitative risk analysis with broader questions of place, intention, and stewardship.

Through both advisory work and writing, Ross explores how hospitality can move beyond volume-driven growth toward models grounded in clarity, restraint, and enduring value.
