Geoff Davis and Angelo Stambules have launched Davis Hotel Capital (DHC), a hotel investment brokerage firm with a concentration on hospitality real estate. The New York- and Denver-based firm will focus on increasing debt and equity for hotel owners and direct equity investment in hotel assessments. DHC will also provide real estate brokerage and investment advisory support for hotel owners and investors.
Both Davis and Stambules have provided creative hospitality financing solutions and a full array of refinancing, renovation, and brand conversion solutions throughout their collective 70 years in the industry. Davis has arranged more than $6 billion of hotel capital and completed more than $14 billion in hotel transactions. Stambules has served in leadership roles for Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Capmark Finance, and GE Capital.
“Funding acquisitions, re-financings and developments in this phase of the real estate cycle will be especially critical as capital becomes more selective,” Davis says. “Much of the low-hanging fruit has been picked, and completing transactions will require more complex structuring. Conversely, this often is the time when investors can strike the best deals.”
DHC will offer a full range of debt-related services, including sourcing acquisition and refinancing loans.
