Hotel Investment in 2025: Time to Get Off the Sideline?

After a sluggish year for transactions, investors are eyeing 2025 with cautious optimism. 

As activity remained subdued—dragged down by rising debt costs and tighter capital markets—the fundamentals told a different story: strong trading performance, resilient income and long-term value.

At our upcoming Hotel Summit in Melbourne, one session will unpack the big question:

Is 2025 the moment for investors to step off the sidelines?

Meet our speakers

• Tim Sherlock, Managing Director of Pro-invest

• Sam McVay, Managing Director of McVay Real Estate

• Lucia Grambalova, Chief Investment Officer and Head of Asset Management at Hotel Capital Partners

Together, they’ll analyze key themes shaping the market:

• Is capital warming to hotels as a hedge against inflation?

• Are international investors circling again as currency, cost and returns align?

• What’s the outlook for transactional volumes—and will pricing find its floor?

• Which markets and asset types are seeing renewed interest?

Don’t miss this session—along with many more—if you want to understand where the smart money is headed in the hotel sector.
