As people are traveling at record levels, the hotel industry is flourishing with demand that is exceeding 2019. Leisure travel has grown significantly, and corporate travel has growth for several quarters. Since almost no new supply has been constructed in the last five years, there’s a current supply-demand imbalance that’s benefitting hotel operators. Greg Friedman, Managing Principal and Chief Executive Officer of Peachtree Group in Atlanta, owns 70 select service hotels, mostly in the Southeast, and is a lender to other operators. Greg currently has 130 first lien loans out to other operators. Peachtree is a vertically integrated firm that develops, acquires, manages, and finances hotels.
