The Market
Has Been Hot
Churchill Ballroom
Why are so many hotels trading and
who is buying them? What are the real
estate plays and how do they differ by
market and asset class? What are the
main economic drivers for this activity?
Will Canada continue to be the “It”
country for investment and is the shift to
greater foreign investment sustainable?

Diligence
Wren Room
There has been a growing trend
of ever expanding due diligence
by both sellers and buyers. With
lender requirements increasingly
onerous and provincial building
and code guidelines quickly
evolving, hotel buyers require
more information to operate
and acquire hotels.

Sometimes even the best laid
plans don’t always work out.
What happens when revenues
don’t materialize, construction
costs get out of hand and/or
unexpected operating expenses
materialize? This session looks
at the practical requirements
behind loan extensions,
modifications and workouts…
with a perspective from all sides.
