Hotel Investment Today | Phoenix — Operators, brands, lenders talk about strategy, market conditions at the start of 4Q25.
Despite the myriad challenges facing owners, operators and developers in attendance at last week’s Lodging Conference, they are recently battled tested from the pandemic and big picture feel pretty good about the future of the hotel business.
Development is ongoing, management is resolute and there is hope for a rebound from negative RevPAR trends looking past the first quarter of 2026.
Hotel Investment Today held multiple interviews during the conference and here is a roundup of some of those newsworthy meetings:
Jared Schlosser, head of originations and C-PACE, Peachtree Group. With banks making a fundamental shift away from direct hotel real estate loans, according to Schlosser, this diversified commercial real estate investment firm, has completed more than $2 billion in private credit transactions through September 2025 across 77 deals, marking a record year.
Schlosser said the firm is on pace to approach $2.5 billion for the full year, a notable increase from 2024 that underscores the expanding role of private credit in commercial real estate as traditional lenders remain cautious in a market shaped by tighter liquidity and ongoing volatility.
