If you’re an accredited investor looking to build recession-resilient wealth, not all hotel investments are equal.
Want to know the single biggest factor that separates winners from losers in hospitality?
The Brand.
At Moneil Investment Group, we specialize in acquiring value-add branded hotels like Courtyard by Marriott, Hilton Garden Inn, and Holiday Inn Express in high-demand markets.
Here’s why branded hotels stand tall—even when the economy takes a hit.
1. Built-In Demand from Loyalty Programs
Big brands bring big loyalty.
- Repeat business travelers
- Points-driven family travelers
- Corporate accounts and group bookings
These customers don’t need to be “marketed to”—they already trust the brand.
Example: A Hilton Honors member booking in Plano, TX? They’ll choose our Hilton-branded property before an unbranded one every time.
2. National Reservation Systems + Global Marketing
Your average mom-and-pop hotel has no access to:
- Worldwide booking engines
- Affiliate travel programs
- Corporate portals and OTAs (like Expedia, Booking.com)
Branded hotels do.
That means your investment benefits from 24/7 exposure and automated bookings—with zero marketing budget from you as the investor.
3. Standardized Quality = Higher Occupancy
During uncertain times, travelers choose predictability.
With a Courtyard by Marriott, guests know what they’re getting:
- Clean, modern rooms
- Reliable amenities
- Professional service
This brand consistency keeps occupancy up, even if competitors drop prices to fill rooms.
And for you? That means steadier cash flow.
4. Lower CapEx and Faster Turnarounds
Here’s the inside edge…
When we acquire a flagged hotel (like a Hilton), the brand already has renovation guidelines and vendor relationships in place.
So instead of guessing on:
- Furniture vendors
- Color palettes
- Room layout updates
We implement a pre-approved renovation playbook—which accelerates timelines and increases valuation sooner.
Faster execution = faster returns.
5. Better Financing & Exit Opportunities
Lenders love branded hotels.
Why?
- Proven operating models
- Predictable revenue history
- National recognition
This gives us access to:
- Better loan terms
- Higher leverage
- More buyers at exit
That means we can refinance or sell more easily, often returning investor capital earlier than projected.
So, Are Branded Hotels Worth the Premium?
Absolutely. When you invest in a Moneil-branded hotel deal, you’re not just investing in bricks and beds.
You’re investing in:
- A proven system
- A recognized brand
- A smoother operation
- A more attractive exit
And yes—you’re still receiving bonus depreciation, preferred returns, and downside protection.
