Most hotel owners are feeling the squeeze—values have dropped by 20% since 2022, and the pain isn't over yet. But what if this downturn is actually setting the stage for a remarkable recovery?

Teague shares how debt maturities and deferred CapEx are acting as catalysts for transactions; why hotel values have been dropping since mid-2022, and the signals that point to a bottom and upcoming recovery; and where the most promising markets lie.
