AT2 - Hotels & resorts: How is this alternative asset class performing compared to core real estate?

Canada is a world-renowned travel destination boasting some of the most beautiful mountain views, to thriving cities all hosting their own major sporting events and concerts while injecting the economy with a most-welcomed boost. It’s no surprise that hospitality has been one of the fastest growing consumer segments since December 2018. Hotels represent a diverse segment within commercial real estate, encompassing a wide range of property types, from boutique establishments to large-scale resorts. This panel will delve into the intricacies of hotel commercial real estate and will examine key factors investors should consider and strategies to thrive in this specialized market. Are hotels a good hedge against inflation? Which markets in Canada are seeing the most activity in this sector?
