Carlton Hospitality Group (CHG), a division of Carlton Advisory Services was formed with the objective of expanding upon Carlton’s dominance of high profile equity and debt transactions in the office and multi-family real estate sectors (Carlton has consummated in excess of $40 billion of real estate transactions since 1998).
CHG’s dedicated hospitality specialists work in conjunction with Carlton’s seasoned placement team to ensure that CHG’s hospitality clients receive the level of access to domestic and international capital for which Carlton is renowned.
Staffed with a team of professionals that collectively have over a century of experience in the investment banking and hospitality industries, CHG is capable of executing the most complex transaction whether it be a capital placement or a high profile investment sale. Drawing from the ranks of the nation's leading advisors, investment banks and law firms, Carlton’s professionals are second to none.
CHG’s professionals have advised on and executed in excess of $20 billion of hospitality and lodging transactions. CHG is fast becoming the preferred choice of owners and developers seeking swift, efficient, professional deal execution that maximizes proceeds while minimizing costs. Also, with an abundance of capital available for investment into hospitality and lodging assets, Carlton has recently been engaged on a number of recapitalizations, non-discretionary acquisition and development funds, management buy-outs as well as strategic dispositions.
