HSMAI DC Workshop Will Introduce the Fundamentals of Modern Hotel Marketing and Commercial Strategy
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. Washington office has been a leading conversion market in the cycle, with multiple downtown Class B assets entering office-to-residential programs in the last twelve months. For sponsors with operational expertise, the sector continues to offer one of the more compelling income-plus-appreciation profiles available across CRE.
