GMH Hotels: Hyatt’s $1B Sale, Marriott & Sonder, Sober Travel Trends

In this episode, we explore the major sale of Hyatt Regency Orlando for over $1 billion, marking the largest single-asset sale in Hyatt's history, as part of Hyatt’s strategy to shift towards an asset-light model.

We also discuss Marriott International's new long-term licensing agreement with Sonder Inc., which will add over 9,000 rooms to Marriott’s portfolio, and the growing “sober travel” trend driven by Gen-Z and wellness-focused travelers, with more hotels and airlines embracing non-alcoholic beverage options.

Tune in for insights on these significant developments shaping the hospitality industry with the one and only Sarah Dandashy & Steve Turk!
