Hotel/Lodging Real Estate Industry Trends and Innovations

Abstract We review the “Hotel/Lodging Real Estate Industry Trends and Innovations” discussed by panelists at the Thirty-Second Annual Meeting of the American Real Estate Society in Denver, Colorado, in Spring, 2016. More specifically, based on that eventu0027s presentations, questions, and subsequent feedback, we discuss four hotel / lodging real estate trends to suggest additional future research collaboration opportunities for academic researchers and industry practitioners. The shared lodging economy in the super-connected high-tech economy is discussed first, followed by non-traditional sources of hotel financing, new forms of boutique/lifestyle hotels/lodging, and hotel services and resort fees.
