Hunter Hotel Advisors closed more than $515 million in hotel sales during the third quarter of 2025, marking another period of robust transaction activity across markets and service lines. The firm completed 36 hotel transactions nationwide, averaging approximately $14.5 million per deal, and has already secured over $580 million under contract for the fourth quarter.
Flagship Q3 closings included the AC San Diego Downtown Gaslamp Quarter, Hyatt Place Athens Downtown, Hilton Garden Inn Jacksonville Ponte Vedra Sawgrass and Crowne Plaza Knoxville Downtown University, representing a diverse cross-section of full-service, select-service and lifestyle assets.
According to Jatin Patel, senior vice president, momentum remained strong throughout the quarter as both institutional and private investors continued to pursue opportunities across the hospitality spectrum.
“Hunter achieved an exceptional third quarter, completing more than half a billion dollars in transactions nationwide,” Patel said in a statement. “With debt markets stabilizing and interest rates beginning to ease, we’re seeing capital flow back into the sector. This return of capital is fueling strong demand, particularly for luxury and upscale assets that continue to outperform in today’s market.”
Patel noted that activity is expected to remain elevated into Q4, buoyed by a combination of increased investor appetite and favorable financing options.
Hunter’s leadership says the firm’s performance is indicative of broader optimism taking hold across the hotel investment environment.
“The momentum we saw in Q3 reflects not only strong deal activity, but also renewed confidence in the hospitality market,” President & CEO Teague Hunter said in a statement. “While investors remain more disciplined than in prior cycles, capital is gradually re-engaging, creating meaningful opportunities across markets and service lines.”
Hunter added that the firm’s advisory role extends beyond dealmaking, helping clients navigate evolving conditions with strategy and foresight.
“Our focus is on ensuring clients are positioned to succeed today and prepared to thrive as the industry continues to evolve,” Hunter said.
With 119 assets totaling $2.1 billion currently being marketed nationwide, Hunter Hotel Advisors continues to leverage its deep industry relationships and market intelligence to deliver trusted results for hotel owners, investors, and developers.
As the year-end approaches, the firm expects transaction volume to remain strong — creating a timely window for owners and investors to explore dispositions, acquisitions or refinancing strategies.
