CHRIS WALL, MANAGING Partner

Chris Wall has sat at every seat of the hotel capital table.


He has refinanced and restructured hotel debt as an owner, originated it as a lender and borrowed it as an operator, more than $4.1Bn across all three seats. That gives him an unusual read on a workout, because he knows what a credit committee will approve, what an owner can deliver, and what the hotel can earn.

Hotel Resolution Partners puts that experience to work for lenders and owners with a hotel under pressure.
