Submitting incomplete or poorly presented proposals to hotel financing lenders can lead to critical delays, unfavorable terms, or outright rejection. Our hospitality project financing service acts as your financial accelerator. We leverage our deep experience in hotel investment advisory and our extensive network to package a compelling investment narrative, securing competitive funding for hotels and resorts and structuring the debt and equity stack to maximize your return on investment.
Our Consulting Approach

2. Investment Memorandum Preparation
- Our team transforms your project data into an institutional-grade Investment Memorandum (IM), which includes all necessary projections, risk mitigation strategies, and the validated Feasibility Study.
3. Lender and Investor Sourcing
- Leveraging our network, we target the most suitable hotel financing lenders and equity partners, leading the pitching process and managing simultaneous negotiations to drive competitive offers for funding for hotels and resorts.

Frequently Asked Questions for Hotel
Project Financing
We accelerate the process by ensuring the investment package is institutionally compliant and compelling from day one. This involves translating the hotel business feasibility data into a comprehensive Investment Memorandum (IM) that meets all lender requirements. Our ability to pre-qualify and introduce the project to the right hotel financing lenders in our network bypasses weeks of uncertainty and dramatically reduces the time spent in the initial stages of due diligence.
We assist clients in securing a full range of funding for hotels and resorts. This includes senior debt (construction and term loans), mezzanine financing, preferred equity, and joint venture equity. As a specialized hotel development consultant, we model the pros and cons of each type of capital, helping the owner select the optimal mix that maximizes returns while minimizing personal liability and capital cost.
The hotel business feasibility study is the foundational document for securing hospitality project financing. It provides the independent, data-backed evidence that proves market demand, competitive positioning, and financial viability. Hotel financing lenders will not proceed without a rigorous feasibility report, as it justifies the loan amount and confirms the project's capacity to generate the necessary cash flow to service the debt.
Our hospitality project financing is a core component of our broader hotel investment advisory service. The two are seamlessly integrated: the advisory team sets the strategic objective (e.g., target IRR, exit multiple), and the financing team executes the capital raise to meet those objectives. We ensure the financing terms align perfectly with the long-term Investment Advisory strategy for the asset.
Yes. Our network of hotel financing lenders is global, encompassing major commercial banks, international debt funds, institutional investors, and sovereign wealth funds across various continents. We match the project's scale, location, and brand with the appropriate capital source, ensuring competitive terms whether the project is domestic or requires funding for hotels and resorts from international markets.
Our Investment Memorandums (IMs) are compelling because they are built on the proven data from our Feasibility Studies and framed by expert hotel advisory services. They clearly articulate the investment thesis, meticulously detail the financial projections, rigorously analyze the risks and mitigation strategies, and present the exit strategy. This professional packaging instills immediate confidence in sophisticated hotel financing lenders and equity partners.
Yes. For distressed hotel assets, we specialize in advising on equity recapitalization and debt restructuring. We act as the hotel development consultant to stabilize the asset's financial structure, often requiring a new Feasibility Study to prove a clear path to profitability, which is essential for attracting turnaround capital and convincing existing hotel financing lenders to agree to new terms.
We negotiate all critical commercial terms, including interest rates, loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, amortization schedules, personal guarantees, covenants, and prepayment penalties. Our priority is to secure non-recourse or limited-recourse funding for hotels and resorts, minimize fees, and ensure the loan's financial covenants are achievable based on the hotel business feasibility projections.
While no ethical hotel investment advisory firm can guarantee financing, our rigorous pre-submission screening and preparation process ensures the project is positioned for the highest probability of success. We only move forward with projects that have a strong, data-backed hotel business feasibility case, preventing clients from wasting time and money pursuing non-viable opportunities with hotel financing lenders.
Our fee structure for hospitality project financing is typically performance-based, calculated as a percentage of the total capital successfully raised. This structure ensures our incentives are directly aligned with yours: we are paid for successful execution. We may also charge a smaller, fixed retainer for the initial preparation and advisory phase, minimizing the client's upfront risk.
