Hospitality Lawyers with Suzanne Mellen’s “What’s happening to hotel values and cap rates” Meet the Money® presentation May 7, 2009

Meet the Money® is the annual hotel finance conference presented by the hotel lawyers of JMBM’s Global Hospitality Group®. These slides were presented at the 19th annual Meet the Money® conference held in Los Angeles on May 5-7, 2009.


For more information on the conference, see www.MeetTheMoney.com. For more information on a broad range of hotel law subjects, see www.HotelLawBlog.com.

For other JEWELS from the conference, see Hospitality Lawyers present JEWELS from Meet the Money® 2009 — the “best ever” hotel conference.

This is Suzanne Mellen’s presentation from Meet the Money® 2009

Two of the all-time most popular articles on www.HotelLawBlog.com are from Suzanne Mellen, of HVS. The first one was an article from last year’s Meet the Money®. It was entitled, “Hotel Attorney on State of the Hospitality Industry. Suzanne Mellen’s HVS presentation at JMBM’s Meet the Money® 2008.
On May 7, 2009, Suzanne gave us the latest update on this data. I think it is her best ever presentation. It is a little scary and very intriguing. I expect this will become a classic.

One of the other most popular articles to ever appear on www.HotelLawBlog.com was a primer on capitalization rates based on Suzanne’s data, my insights, and Suzanne’s patient assistance. That article is entitled, “Hotel Attorney on Hotel Cap Rates. What’s happening to hotel cap rates, values and financing?
