HOTEL WORKOUT AND RESTRUCTURING ADVISORY

Know the resolution path before you choose it.


Engagements for lenders and owners of distressed and underperforming hotels. On any one hotel, we represent one side.

When to call.

Hotel on a watch list


Covenant breach or cash trap


Maturity with no refinance path


Unfunded PIP or franchise default


Operator not delivering


Partner or sponsor dispute


Foreclosure, receivership or deed-in-lieu on the table


REO hotel that needs a plan


Weak operating performance


Volatile cash flow and floating interest rates


CapEx planning and renovation execution


Management company not the right fit

Each engagement is built around who our client is and where the hotel stands.

Lenders engage us as hotel experts with a deep structuring and asset management track record. Owners hire us as proven operators who have run and repositioned hotels themselves. We are here to provide solutions for those who need them.

How it Works

1

Confidential call. NDA first if needed.

2

Diagnostic. The portfolio or hotel, the debt, and the realistic options.

3

Resolution plan. A clear recommendation, in writing.

4

Execution. Negotiation and follow-through to resolution.

Most fees are tied to the result.

Most engagements pair a modest retainer with a completion fee tied to the resolution. We bring senior experience without a large team, so most of our compensation depends on your outcome.
