The hotel industry is without doubt facing its most challenging period of operation for years. However, despite the turmoil in the financial markets, new developments and investment opportunities are abound.

The 9th Annual European Hotel Finance & Investment Summit is the event for the industry to come together in London and discuss the outlook and opportunities in existing markets, the emerging regional hotspots as well as the market for distressed assets.
