Advisors Who Understand the Business of Hotels

Built by hotel owners. Trusted by owners, investors, and lenders nationwide.

NewGen Advisory, a hospitality investment advisory firm, was founded by professionals who entered hospitality through ownership, operations, and investment—not brokerage.

We’ve managed hotels, navigated renovations, evaluated acquisitions, worked through market cycles, and made the same decisions our clients face every day. That experience shapes every valuation, marketing strategy, negotiation, and recommendation we provide.

Because hospitality isn’t just our specialty.

It’s our background.

Founders

We Grew Up in Hotels. Not as Guests—As Operators.

The hotels that became NewGen’s first transactions were the same properties our families owned, operated, and managed for decades. When we entered brokerage, we brought that ownership perspective with us and built a firm around it.

Today, NewGen combines operational experience, hospitality expertise, and national market reach to help owners make smarter decisions and achieve stronger outcomes.

ORIGIN STORY

Why We Built NewGen

When we looked at the hospitality brokerage industry, we saw a gap.

Most firms fell into one of two categories. Large institutional brokerages understood capital markets but often lacked firsthand operational insight into what drives hotel performance. Smaller boutique firms understood hospitality but frequently lacked the reach, resources, and buyer access needed to maximize outcomes.

We believed hotel owners deserved both.

NewGen was built to bridge that gap—combining national market exposure, structured transaction processes, investor-grade underwriting, and data-driven analysis with the perspective that only comes from having owned, operated, financed, repositioned, and sold hotels ourselves.

Today, we advise owners, investors, operators, lenders, and institutions across the hospitality lifecycle—from acquisitions and dispositions to valuations, distressed assets, and strategic advisory services.

Our mission is simple: help hospitality owners make informed decisions and maximize long-term value.

HOW WE WORK · Four PRINCIPLES that guide every engagement

PRINCIPLE 01

Owner-First Perspective

We evaluate opportunities the same way owners do. That means looking beyond surface-level metrics and understanding what truly impacts value, cash flow, capital requirements, and long-term performance.

PRINCIPLE 02

Transparent Process

Clients deserve visibility. From valuation to closing, we believe in clear communication, defined milestones, and a process you can follow every step of the way.

PRINCIPLE 03

Data Driven Decisions

Every recommendation starts with facts. Market intelligence, transaction data, operational performance, and buyer behavior inform the strategies we develop for our clients.

PRINCIPLE 04

Solutions for Complex Situations

Some of the most challenging transactions create the greatest opportunities. Our team has extensive experience helping clients navigate distressed assets, lender-driven transactions, ownership transitions, and unique hospitality situations where experience matters most.

National Reach

Hospitality Expertise Coast to Coast

As a national hospitality investment advisory firm, we’ve built one of the industry’s most active hospitality networks through decades of ownership, operations, investment, and brokerage experience.

Our relationships span hotel owners, investors, operators, lenders, franchise groups, and industry decision-makers across the country.
