DOLLY PARTON'S SONGTELLER HOTEL & DOLLY'S LIFE OF MANY COLORS MUSEUM ANNOUNCE JOINT OPENING SEPTEMBER 29
Why this matters
Hospitality has separated by chain scale and demand segment, with luxury and resort outperforming and select-service holding pricing power on a leaner cost base. New construction starts remain at multi-decade lows, which has supported in-place RevPAR and made conversions of soft-branded flags an increasingly active part of transaction velocity. Nashville continues to absorb meaningful multifamily and mixed-use development. Hospitality has been a standout performer through the cycle. For sponsors with operational expertise, the sector continues to offer one of the more compelling income-plus-appreciation profiles available across CRE.
