Findings Of PKF's 2010 Hospitality Investment Survey

The following statements summarize the findings of PKF Consulting’s 2010 Hospitality Investment Survey.

Investment Criteria
  • Overall hotel capitalization rates have declined 32 basis points from 2009 to 2010. We attribute the decline in hotel cap rates to the over-weighted influence of high-priced urban and luxury hotel transactions.
  • Hotel cap rates are above 10 percent for extended-stay and select-service properties. While these property types are extremely popular with guests, they are also preferred by developers and run the risk of increased competition.
  • Older limited- and full-service hotels are being traded at high cap rates because they are most vulnerable to the surge in newer mid-market properties.
  • Cap rates are lowest for hotels in top-tier markets, indicating a belief that the greatest recoveries will occur in the nation’s urban areas.
  • The holding periods for sellers dropped significantly indicating the presence of opportunistic buyers in search of bargains who in turn re-sell them quickly rather than hold as a long-term investment.
Mortgage Criteria
  • Hotel debt coverage ratios have increased since 2009, indicating a further tightening of underwriting standards.
  • Hotel loan to value ratios are at an all-time low, meaning investors must put up substantially more equity to get a deal done.
  • For buyers that qualify for a loan, interest rates remain relatively low and the length of the loan has risen slightly.
Readers will find the following variables in the Hospitality Investment Survey report.
  • Hotel Cap Rate, Trailing 12 (NOI)
  • Hotel Cap Rate, Forward 12 (NOI)
  • Hotel Cap Rate, Terminal (NOI)
