Hotel Lawyer on hotel financing. Looking for money to develop a hotel mixed-use project? Need debt or equity financing to buy a portfolio of hotels or just a one-off deal? Seeking financing to reposition your hotel project? It doesn’t matter. . . On May 3, 2007, hundreds of hotel financing experts, hotel developers, and hospitality insiders will converge at the Sheraton Gateway LA Airport Hotel in Los Angeles to Meet the Money®.
Now in its 17th year, this event has become the premier event for hotel financing. If you don’t have your registration confirmed, you better hurry, because the event is almost completely sold out!! You can check out the program, speakers — all the details — and register online at www.MeetTheMoney.com.
Here’s what it is all about . . .
JMBM’s Global Hospitality Group® is the “Gateway to Hotel Finance”
I have received more telephone calls, e-mails and inquires through www.HotelLawBlog.com recently asking how we can help facilitate financing an unprecedented number of hotel deals. The inquiries concern every type of debt and equity financing imaginable for every kind of hotel or hospitality project — big hotel deals, little hotel deals; domestic and foreign hotel projects; urban high-rise hotels as well as urban and destination resorts; complex hotel mixed-use and more mundane, bread-and-butter select service hotels.
JMBM’s Global Hospitality Group likes to think of itself as the “Gateway to hotel finance.” We are not lenders or mortgage brokers, but we are more than “just” great hotel lawyers. We are also hospitality consultants and business advisors. We are deal makers. We can help find the right operator or capital provider. We know who to call and how to reach them. We are a major gateway of hotel finance, facilitating the flow of capital with our legal skill, hospitality industry knowledge and ability to find the right “fit” for all parts of the capital stack. Because we are part of the very fabric of the hotel industry, we are able to help clients identify key business goals, assemble the right team, strategize the approach to optimize value and then get the deal done.
How do you get the right financing for your hotel project?
You can search the internet and find valuable resources like our Annual Outlook (“How will you finance your hotel project in 2007? Part I and Part II)
You can spend a lot of time setting up appointments to try to see who is doing what this week, or . . . you can come to Meet the Money® and — as the name suggests — take advantage of this unique forum to meet the most active providers of debt and equity financing for hotels today. And it is in an ultra-efficient one-day format so you can “meet everybody who is anybody in hotel finance,” get done what needs to be done, and get back to your main business.
