  • With over 100,000 hotels in the United States, approximately 70% operate as branded or flagged hotels. But why is that? If you’re considering purchasing a hotel and debating between going independent or affiliating with a recognized brand, this episode is a must-listen.

    We’re joined by hospitality industry expert Neil Shah, who brings over 25 years of experience in hotel investing, with 13 hotels and 471 units purchased under his belt. Neil has worked with six different hotel franchises, including well-known names like Best Western, Hampton Inn, and Howard Johnson. Together, we explore the advantages and trade-offs of operating as a branded hotel versus staying independent.

    From understanding brand support and marketing power to evaluating franchise fees and operational restrictions, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you make an informed decision for your next hotel investment.
