Hoteliers will see more available capital in late 2024

There will be an increase in hotel transaction volume during the second half of 2024 and into 2025. With treasuries dipping well below 4%, all-in rates are back in the mid- to high 6% range for hotels. As long as treasuries continue to stabilize — lowering the overall cost of debt — more deals will pencil. There could be even more restrictions on the bank side due to increased regulations already set to roll out. Count on that void to be partially filled by debt fund, private money and CMBS lenders. Keep an eye out for an increase in alternative hotel lending sources in the next year, many of which are very competitive and flexible.
