Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Returning to hospitality in the AI era
Q: I just wonder when it comes to these AI conversations and being able to prove to owners that these types of moves are going to pay off, how are those conversations?
Sandoval says Spire accepts that AI adoption carries risks but sees a greater risk in being left behind. He says owners will look for demonstrated value, such as lower costs, better operating efficiency, and increased net operating income, before fully embracing AI investments.
Returning to hospitality in the AI era
Q: Tell me a little bit about the hotel and how it fits into the Spire portfolio, what you're excited about with that property.
Sandoval describes the 55-room riverfront St. James Hotel as a historically significant property with a distinctive local story. Spire is working with its owners to preserve that history and make it part of the guest experience while operating the hotel in partnership with Marriott.
Fourth quarter hotel earnings preview with Baird's Mike Bellisario
Q: What are you hearing from the investment side? What are their concerns right now with the hotel REITs and C-corps?
Investors want more hotel transactions, but buying and selling remains selective. REITs are selling lower-quality assets, while higher stock prices and improved cost of capital help underwriting; broad macro-driven portfolio bets remain uncommon.
Fourth quarter hotel earnings preview with Baird's Mike Bellisario
Q: What's the general feeling you have heading into this earnings season?
Bellisario expects good third-quarter results and positive management commentary, with fourth-quarter outlooks improving from 90 days earlier as RevPAR trends have strengthened.
The ongoing evolution of commercial strategy with Aimbridge's Allison Handy
Q: How is AI influencing forecasting and sales in your organization?
AI forecasting is expanding from occupancy projections to full journey insights, with a focus on change management, adoption by sales teams, and using AI to improve lead response and conversion.
