Every active capital allocator in U.S. hospitality— tracked, structured and searchable inside CapitalStack.
Hospitality real estate investors own, develop, and operate lodging assets, from select-service and extended-stay properties to full-service urban hotels and destination resorts. The largest public lodging REITs include Host Hotels & Resorts, Park Hotels & Resorts, Ryman Hospitality Properties, and Pebblebrook Hotel Trust, while Blackstone and Starwood Capital run the largest private hotel platforms and Sunstone Hotel Investors and Xenia Hotels & Resorts focus on upper-upscale portfolios. Brand companies like Marriott and Hilton usually manage or franchise the flag rather than own the real estate. CapitalStack profiles each hospitality investor's mandate, target chain scale, check size, and deal format, alongside recent deal signals and verified contacts.

Alan Faena's hotel group, founded in partnership with billionaire Len Blavatnik's Access Industries, opened the Faena New York luxury boutique hotel in Chelsea in September 2025 after Steve Witkoff acquired the distressed HFZ development project with capital from Blavatnik and completed a repositioning from Six Senses to Faena's theatrical maximalist brand. The hotel, which opened one year prior to this article's October 2026 date, is expanding amenities including a 17,000-square-foot spa and speakeasy, signaling capital redeployment into operational enhancements.
Crescent Real Estate successfully exited The Hotel at Avalon, a 330-room luxury hotel in Alpharetta, Georgia, after acquiring it in September 2020 during the COVID-19 market dislocation. The sale demonstrates the fund sponsor's ability to identify distressed hospitality opportunities, execute disciplined ownership and asset management, and realize strong returns for its institutional and high-net-worth investors through a period of lodging sector recovery.
