With cash flows severely impacted and an uncertain recovery on the horizon, the hotel transactions landscape will look quite different than what we’re used to for the balance of 2020 and well into 2021. There will clearly be a need for capital to support operations, facilitate debt restructurings, and fund post-recovery capital improvements. The record amount of capital that has been raised for real estate in general, and hotels specifically, raises a number of questions: Where will these funds be deployed? Where will investors find opportunities? How will hotel properties be valued?
A panel of investment and real estate experts will share their perspectives on how hotel transactions have been affected by the economic downturn and what the road back to “normal” may look like.
We will explore how the record amount of capital that has been raised for hotels will be deployed; where investors will find opportunities; whether “straight asset sales” will be replaced by note purchases, structured transactions, and other forms of capital infusions; and how hotel properties will be valued.
