Hotel & hospitality financing · Nationwide
Hotel financing. Capital for acquisition, refinance and repositioning.
MDN Capital Consulting structures hotel and hospitality financing for acquisitions, refinances, renovations, property improvement plans and transitional operating situations, with underwriting centered on the real estate, operating performance, sponsorship, brand position and business plan.
Financing overview
Hospitality financing requires both real estate and operating analysis.
Hotels are operating businesses as well as real estate assets. Lenders typically evaluate historical and current operating statements, occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, brand or franchise requirements, management, renovation or PIP obligations, market positioning, property condition and sponsor experience.
MDN Capital helps organize the financing request around those variables and the transaction's use of proceeds. That can include an acquisition, maturity refinance, cash-out request, renovation, PIP execution, bridge-to-stabilization strategy or other qualified capital need.

Frequently asked questions
Questions borrowers commonly ask.
Answers are general in nature. Transaction-specific terms depend on lender underwriting and the facts of the request.
What financial information is typically needed for a hotel loan?
Lenders commonly request historical and current property-level operating statements, occupancy and rate data, debt information, franchise or management documents, renovation/PIP details, sponsor financial information and valuation support.
Can hotel financing include a PIP or renovation budget?
Potentially. A financing request can incorporate qualified renovation or PIP costs when the scope, budget, timing and post-improvement business plan are supportable.
Can a hotel in transition qualify for bridge financing?
Potentially. Bridge financing may be appropriate for renovation, rebranding, ownership transition, performance recovery or other situations where the property is not yet positioned for permanent debt.
Can hotel debt be refinanced before stabilization?
Yes in some cases. The lender will evaluate current performance, collateral value, business plan, sponsor support, requested leverage and the path to stabilization or exit.
Does MDN Capital work nationwide?
Yes. MDN Capital evaluates commercial real estate financing opportunities nationwide, subject to transaction fit and lender availability.
