Hospitality NetLW Hospitality Advisors (LWHA) Q2/Midyear 2026 Major U.S. Hotel Sales Survey & Lodging Sector OverviewLW Hospitality Advisors reported that U.S. hotel sales activity increased by 20% year-over-year in Q2 2026, with transactions totaling $3.8 billion across 107 deals over $10 million, although average deal sizes and price per room declined. The sector is experiencing a K-shaped recovery where luxury properties are outperforming economy segments, driven by resilient corporate travel and major events like the FIFA World Cup despite broader macroeconomic headwinds such as sticky inflation and high interest rates.HotelsmagHotel deals aren’t significantly down. They are just different.A review of the LW Hospitality Advisors Major U.S. Hotel Sales Survey spanning 2017 to 2025 reveals that the U.S. hotel single-sale transaction market has demonstrated resilience despite elevated interest rates, contradicting the narrative of a deep prolonged slump. While 2025 recorded the lowest sale price per room ($209,000) and average deal size ($38 million) in nine years, it also achieved the second-highest number of trades (392) and strong total dollar volume of $14.8 billion. The author argues the current hospitality sector landscape presents a compelling, time-sensitive opportunity for investors seeking portfolio diversification and long-term value in commercial real estate.CostarHotel investment experts see US transaction activity return as inevitableHotel investment experts at the 2026 Hunter Hotel Investment Conference in Atlanta predicted that U.S. hotel transaction activity will improve this year, citing cheapening debt, growing impatience among investors, and improving social conditions as catalysts. Multiple panelists, including executives from Peachtree Group, CBRE Hotels, LW Hospitality Advisors, and JLL, described the current market as a favorable buying opportunity and the second-best time to acquire hotels in decades. The experts noted that hotel performance compares favorably to office and multifamily commercial real estate, though it trails industrial data centers, and that increased transaction activity is now inevitable as debt extensions reach their limits.Hotel-Online2025 Major U.S. Hotel Sales Survey & Lodging Sector OverviewThe U.S. hotel sector ended 2025 with its first decline in revenue per available room (RevPAR) since the 2020 pandemic, driven by lower occupancy and muted ADR growth amid persistent inflation, a softening labor market, and declining consumer sentiment. The LW Hospitality Advisors Q4 2025 Major U.S. Hotel Sales Survey recorded 111 single sale transactions over $10 million totaling approximately $5.0 billion, representing a 32 percent increase in dollar volume from Q3, while average deal sizes improved but sale prices per room remained depressed year-over-year. For full-year 2025, the survey documented 392 transactions totaling nearly $15 billion with an average sale price per room of $211,000, down 13 percent from 2024, reflecting sector headwinds including labor shortages, elevated costs, and debt maturities pressuring sellers.Hotel-OnlineMid-Year 2025 Major U.S. Hotel Sales Survey & OverviewLW Hospitality Advisors released its Q2 2025 Major U.S. Hotel Sales Survey covering 89 single-asset sale transactions over $10 million totaling nearly $3.3 billion and approximately 14,500 hotel rooms, representing a 17% increase in dollar volume from Q1 2025 but an 18% decline compared to Q2 2024. Notable transactions included Trinity Investments selling the 950-room JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa to Ryman Hospitality Properties for $865 million, and The Stanley Hotel in Colorado being acquired for $163 million by The Stanley Partnership for Art Culture and Education. The report notes that while top-line hotel metrics remain stable, rising operating expenses and elevated interest rates are pressuring sector profits and contributing to a sluggish transaction market dominated by smaller deals and debt fund financing.GlobeNewswireLW Hospitality Advisors (LWHA ®) Announces Appointment of Edward Shapard as Managing Director, Platform Head and Robert Higley as Vice President of LWHA Asset Management GroupLW Hospitality Advisors appointed Edward Shapard as Managing Director, Platform Head and Robert Higley as Vice President of its Asset Management Group.

If these leases had commenced in Q2 2018, they would have increased occupancy at 9 Times Square from 74.4% to 89.1%, with a weighted average lease duration of 9.3 years.PR NewswireAnalysis Reveals Costly Impact of City's Plan to Curb Hotel Development in M1 ZonesLW Hospitality Advisors released an analysis commissioned by Gene Kaufman Architect projecting significant economic losses for New York City if a proposed special permit limiting new hotel development in M1 zoning districts is adopted. The report estimates the city would forgo $55.5 billion in economic impact, $37.1 billion in visitor spending, and 202,409 jobs over the next decade. The analysis argues the hotel and tourism industries generated $2 billion in tax revenue and $64 billion in economic impact in 2016, positioning the study as an attempt to influence the upcoming DCP certification decision.
