In the past three to five years, until a few months ago, hotel prices and transactions were accelerating at a remarkable rate. During this period of industry recovery, savvy buyers and sellers were poised to secure assets as revenues and income increased and cap rates declined. This robust investment environment was not unique to hotels; private equity funds, REITs, and other investors actively sought out all types of property including office buildings, shopping center, and residential projects.
