Description

Yariv Ben-Ari, partner and co-chair of Herrick’s Real Estate Hospitality group, is joined by Evan Weiss, Chief Operating Officer and Principal at LW Hospitality Advisors, one of the industry’s most respected voices in hotel valuation and capital markets to discuss the complex matrix used in hotel valuations. Together, they take a deep dive into how hotels are really appraised — from the fundamentals every investor should understand, to the complex valuation dynamics driving deals, refinancing, and investment decisions in 2025. Evan walks listeners through a true “Hotel Appraisal 101,” then breaks down how valuation approaches differ between the U.S. and Europe, where inflation, brand value and investor behavior tell two very different stories. Owners, lenders and asset managers will get you a sharper understanding on what their hotel is really worth and why.
