去年下半年以來的 酒店工作金融海嘯，不僅讓市井小民壓力沉重， 酒店上班就連專營高檔客層的精品商家，也都面臨不小的壓力， 寒假打工
甚至無力負擔商圈的房租，市場瀰漫著一股悲觀的氣氛。
隨著股市、房市 暑假打工的熱絡氣象，外界預期一些辛苦經營的精品店面、 酒店PT商圈，將順勢而起，不過，熟悉大台北商圈的欣元商仲總經理焦文華直言，目 禮服酒店前精品業者的經營還相當艱困，景氣反轉的力道並不如外界預期。
焦文華分析，精品商圈 兼差的經營，確實還是面臨消費力不足的困境。目前消費者物價指數已連續兩個月負成長（六、七月份），具體反映出消費力衰退的現象，高檔的珠寶、手錶、服飾等精品市場感受更深，部分店家業績 打工，更是過去高峰期的三分之一，業者稱得上是「苦撐待變」。
永慶店面事業部 台北酒店經紀經理李元鳳表示，精品商圈在金融海 酒店經紀嘯中確實面臨很大的壓力，且當時都無法預期景氣何時好轉 酒店打工，耗費數百萬元的裝潢成本，更迫使業者無法輕言放棄。以當時的天母SOGO商圈為例，就算距離天母SOG 酒店兼差O百貨的開幕已經不到半年的時間，但周邊店面的空置率仍高達二十％，顯示屋主與業者都存有濃厚的觀望心態，這 酒店兼職與過去市場會提前反映利多現象有顯著差異。
雖然精品業者辛苦經營，但是從喝花酒永慶店面事業部的統計數據來看，五大精品商圈的空置率在今年上半年皆有明顯下降，但是積極展店的業種，卻是以餐飲、零售等微利事業體，精品商圈交際應酬的「精品氣氛」，已逐漸稀釋。
不僅精品商圈的味道變了，過去勇於投資精品商圈的粉味投資客，追價的力道同樣大不如前。李元鳳表示，以台北市最廣為人知的「晶華酒店商圈」為例酒店喝酒，售價從二○○八年曾出現的每坪三百萬元的高檔價格，到今年平均一百八十萬至兩百五十萬元的水準，雖然店租行情波動不大，但也反映出目前買方出價的「保守」。
徐佳馨表示，從空置率數據來看，與去年狀況極差的第四季相比 酒店，精品商圈的空置率都出現明顯的下降，但由於各界對於景氣是否反彈仍有疑慮，因此就算租金與售價已開始蠢動，但是否能夠真實反映市場實況，仍存有許多變數。
