Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why monthslong stays are a hidden opportunity for hotels (with Noble's Mit Shah)
Q: Why do you remain bullish on extended stay in the long term, and how does distribution work for longer stays?
The extended-stay segment has durable demand with customers staying 30+ nights in certain formats, and distribution is increasingly direct rather than through OTAs. Brands provide loyalty-driven, longer-durations and safer, more predictable occupancy, while labor and technology investments help margins.
Why monthslong stays are a hidden opportunity for hotels (with Noble's Mit Shah)
Q: So walk us through all the activity you guys have had lately.
Mit Shah explains a strong capital deployment year driven by opportunistic acquisitions, a 51-hotel Marriott Courtyard portfolio in a separate bucket, and additional developments, all supported by two secular tailwinds: post-pandemic renovations and the lack of a near-term catalyst for a rapid RevPAR jump. He emphasizes disciplined capital allocation and downside protection.
Hotel transactions market is making its slow-but-steady comeback
Q: What are your expectations for Peachtree in 2026?
We expect more transactions in 2026 driven by the wall of debt maturities, continued access to credit, and opportunities to buy assets opportunistically while expanding our lending and DST-focused activities.
Crescent seeks hotels where it can make an impact (with Lily Hu)
Q: From Crescent's perspective, where do you go from here in the third‑party space, and how do you fit into this evolving segment?
We plan to stay a pure, non-conflicted third‑party manager, growing within our two geographies, maintaining discipline, and avoiding investments that would create conflicts of interest so we can consistently deliver for all clients.
Crescent seeks hotels where it can make an impact (with Lily Hu)
Q: And what is your strategy then for holding on to the contracts that you do have?
We focus on performance and the P&L for the client, ensuring the hotel operations translate into debt service coverage and solid returns, which keeps owners confident and makes us a preferred manager.
