HFTP, HSMAI and AHLA/HTNG Unite to Create Global Hospitality AI Coordinating Council
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. Dallas-Fort Worth continues to absorb the largest multifamily delivery pipeline in the country. Industrial along the I-35 corridor is clearing at competitive basis, and selective office is finding bids at deep discounts to replacement. For sponsors with operational expertise, the sector continues to offer one of the more compelling income-plus-appreciation profiles available across CRE.
