Reasons for U.S. Hoteliers to Act Now

At the recent 26th Annual Hunter Hotel Conference in Atlanta, I served alongside other hotel buyers, lenders, appraisers, and advisors on a panel discussion of "Hotel Values in a Rising Market." While we shared insights from our various perspectives on the U.S. hotel industry as of early 2014, it became very apparent that there is a surge of urgency among hoteliers, and with good reason.
