OUR EXPERIENCE
BurgherGray represents owners, developers, investors, and operators across the full spectrum of hospitality assets—from limited-service and select-service properties to full-service hotels and luxury resorts. In an industry shaped by more than 1,200 distinct hotel brands globally, we bring a practical understanding of brand strategy, affiliation structures, and the operational realities that drive asset value.
Our work spans the full lifecycle of hospitality transactions, including acquisitions and dispositions (asset, equity, and portfolio), distressed asset and debt investments, and joint venture and capital structuring. We conduct targeted, operationally focused diligence across franchise and management agreements, title, zoning, labor, and environmental matters—identifying risks that impact both closing and ongoing performance.
We regularly negotiate hotel franchise and management agreements across major brand systems, and advise on licensing, permitting, and regulatory compliance critical to day-to-day operations. We also support development, repositioning, and brand conversions for hospitality assets.
