Unlike office, the lodging industry is fortunate to have experienced a dramatic rebound and comeback from the devastating effects of the worldwide pandemic.

The rise of remote work and interest rates has on balance produced a glut of vacant office space, particularly in buildings located in downtown urban cores. As a result, there has been negative pressure on office valuations throughout the nation. Though Class A offices have not been as negatively im...

With roughly one million revelers attending New York City’s New Year’s Eve celebration, the dawn of 2024 is an appropriate moment to consider the evolution of Times Square and hospitality’s place within it.

The New York Marriott Marquis is an excellent example of the concepts of principle of change, and highest and best economic use.

Although many new hotel brands claim to identify and cater toward unique customer segments, there is little if any differentiation that clearly distinguishes them from one another. The hotel industry should be making brands better; not adding new ones. It only confuses the traveling public.

Smart money that is patient has already called a bottom and believes the market is ripe to acquire commercial real estate assets, including hotels, in San Francisco. Sponsors with cash and strong balance sheets are in an ideal position to purchase downtown properties with a “buy low, sell high” investment thesis.

Of San Francisco, Mark Twain once famously quipped: “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.” But it’s another quote, also attributed to him, that the city hopes is more accurate: “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.” Much has been written about the demi...

The LWHA Q3 2023 Major U.S. Hotel Sales Survey includes 88 single asset sale transactions over $10 million which totaled roughly $3.2 billion and included approximately 14,000 hotel rooms with an average sale price per room of $228,000.

By Daniel Lesser Notwithstanding a persistent jittery economic environment and rising global geopolitical concerns, market conditions in the U.S. appear simultaneously shaky and resilient. National lodging sector metrics, particularly average room rates and RevPAR, continue to achieve exceptional re...

Recent sensational headlines are claiming “a lack of financing” and “inability to refinance” hotel assets. The reality is: Don’t believe everything you hear or read. In today’s market, debt is available, however, it is much more expensive than in the recent past.

Elevated levels of inflation and interest rates, along with what seems like never-ending fears of an impending economic recession, has placed the U.S. commercial real estate industry in choppy waters. Earlier this year, the stunning and swift collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), and subsequent fai...

The LWHA Q2 2023 Major U.S. Hotel Sales Survey includes 84 single sale transactions over $10 million which totaled roughly $3.1 billion and included approximately 12,100 hotel rooms with an average sale price per room of $257,000.

By Daniel Lesser Defying the expectations of many, the U.S. economy has demonstrated resilience driven in part by a solid employment report with stronger-than-expected wage growth during June, along with continued healthy levels of consumer spending. With this said, the U.S. economy has been slowed....

Interest rates are high compared to 18 to 24 months ago, but are at the long-term average over the past 40 years, said Daniel Lesser, president and CEO at LWHA. Regardless, that has slowed transaction volume.
