Por qué los prestamistas exigen cartas de garantía para la financiación de hoteles de marca

Comparte este post

Invertir en un hotel de franquicia puede ser una buena manera de diversificar su cartera y lograr retornos sólidos durante un período prolongado. Encontrar las opciones de financiación hotelera adecuadas puede hacer que esta adquisición sea aún más rentable. Las cartas de garantía están diseñadas para proporcionar un marco legal para que los prestamistas y franquiciadores gestionen situaciones en las que el comprador del hotel no paga el préstamo. Estos son algunos datos que todo inversor debe conocer cartas de consuelo.

¿Qué son las cartas de consuelo?

Las cartas de garantía son documentos que permiten a los prestamistas: asumir los derechos de franquicia si el franquiciado original no paga el préstamo. Estas cartas incluyen disposiciones que garantizan que los prestamistas puedan seguir operando el hotel en caso de incumplimiento o ejecución hipotecaria de los préstamos hoteleros de la franquicia.

Beneficios de las cartas de consuelo

Las cartas de garantía ofrecen varios beneficios para todas las partes involucradas en la transacción, incluidos los siguientes:

  • Es más probable que los prestatarios encuentren los acuerdos de préstamo hotelero más atractivos si los prestamistas tienen una mayor certeza de que podrán recuperar su inversión incluso si el prestatario no cumple con sus obligaciones. Esto puede mejorar las condiciones de estos préstamos y facilitar la obtención del financiamiento necesario para adquirir propiedades de franquicia.
  • Los prestamistas pueden garantizar sus préstamos de manera más eficaz al garantizar la capacidad de mantener la rentabilidad de las propiedades que financian.
  • Las compañías de franquicias pueden proteger su marca al continuar con sus operaciones y mantener una presencia incluso cuando los franquiciados no cumplen con sus obligaciones financieras y no pagan sus préstamos hoteleros.

Muchos prestamistas exigen cartas de garantía antes de finalizar los préstamos para propiedades hoteleras franquiciadas.

Creado por la empresa de franquicias

En la mayoría de los casos, la carta de garantía es redactada por la compañía franquiciadora como parte del proceso de franquicia. Estos documentos legales pueden seguir una plantilla estandarizada o pueden personalizarse para adaptarse a las necesidades del prestatario y del prestamista. El contenido de la carta puede incluir algunas o todas las siguientes disposiciones:

  • Disposición que garantiza la capacidad del prestamista de designar a un administrador judicial para que opere el hotel durante un breve período de tiempo durante el proceso de ejecución hipotecaria.
  • Cláusula que permite al prestamista subsanar cualquier incumplimiento del contrato de franquicia antes de que se rescinda.
  • Una disposición que permite la reventa de la propiedad y la transferencia del contrato de franquicia a un tercero si el hotel entra en mora.

Estas disposiciones están diseñadas para proteger al prestamista si el préstamo de financiación hotelera entra en mora.

Debt Market Dislocation Creates $1 Billion Opportunity for Peachtree Group

Peachtree Group is thriving amid debt market dislocation, and anticipates deploying $1.0 billion in real estate credit investments within six months. ‍The credit investments primarily encompass originations for hotels, multifamily, industrial and student housing. In February, Peachtree closed one of the largest individual credit transactions in the firm's history with a $102.9 million three-year loan to recapitalize a 350‐room Marriott branded hotel in Sunnyvale, Calif.

ATLANTA (March 18, 2024) – Peachtree Group (“Peachtree”), a diversified commercial real estate investment firm, announced it has closed approximately $660 million in credit investments since Dec. 1, 2023, with an additional $350 million anticipated closing over the next 30 to 45 days.

The credit investments primarily encompass originations for hotels, multifamily, industrial and student housing.


In February, Peachtree closed one of the largest individual credit transactions in the firm's history with a $102.9 million three-year loan to recapitalize a 350‐room Marriott dual-brand AC Hotel Sunnyvale Moffett Park and TETRA Hotel, Autograph Collection in Sunnyvale, Calif.

"We are witnessing heightened activity in response to the anticipation of sustained elevated interest rates and continued reductions in bank exposure. The pressing need to refinance maturing debt, estimated at $2.8 trillion in U.S. commercial real estate debt by the end of 2028, is a growing concern. Commercial real estate stakeholders are grappling with the challenges of increased capital costs and constrained liquidity, particularly in securing capital for acquisitions, recapitalizations and development initiatives,” said Greg Friedman, Peachtree Group’s managing principal and CEO.

Peachtree Group's credit division, formerly Stonehill, ranked as the 8th largest U.S. commercial real estate hotel lender by the Mortgage Bankers Association in its last loan origination rankings.

As a direct commercial real estate lender, it offers permanent loans, bridge loans, mezzanine loans, commercial property-asset clean energy (CPACE) financing and preferred equity investments across all commercial real estate sectors, with its origins in the hospitality industry.

Other notable credit transactions closed over the past 90 days:

  • $40.8 million first mortgage loan for the construction of a dual-branded Residence Inn and Home2 Suites in Montgomery, Ala.
  • $46.0 million in Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (“CPACE”) financing for the Thompson Hotel in Palm Springs, Calif.  
  • $36.2 million first mortgage loan for Courtyard by Marriott in Chevy Chase, Md.
  • $40.6 million first mortgage loan for Home2 Suites in Charlotte, N.C.
  • $34.5 million first mortgage loan for a multifamily complex in Gainesville, Fla.
  • $17.5 million first mortgage loan for student housing in Athens, Ga.

Foster Affordable Housing with Adaptive Reuse Financing

As cities grapple with limited resources and urban revitalization, one innovative approach gaining traction is adaptive reuse. By repurposing existing structures, such as warehouses, factories and office buildings, adaptive reuse offers a sustainable solution to create affordable housing. However, financing these projects can pose a significant challenge.

As cities grapple with limited resources and urban revitalization, one innovative approach gaining traction is adaptive reuse. By repurposing existing structures, such as warehouses, factories and office buildings, adaptive reuse offers a sustainable solution to create affordable housing. However, financing these projects can pose a significant challenge.

The priority of financing an adaptive reuse project is finding an experienced lender, which will increase the chances of a smooth funding process.

The challenges and risks associated with repurposing existing structures can make traditional lenders hesitant to provide financing. In such cases, alternative lenders like, who specializes in adaptive reuse and has a track record of working with these projects, can be a valuable resource.

Stonehill has a deep understanding of the unique considerations involved in adaptive reuse, such as the complexities of assessing the property’s value, estimating renovation costs, and managing potential environmental or structural issues. As a result, Stonehill is usually more willing to provide flexible terms and agreements to accommodate the specific needs and challenges of adaptive reuse projects.

Hotel to Multi-family Conversion Case Study

Stonehill recently financed $11 million for the conversion of a former 195-key conference hotel into 195 affordable studio apartment units. The hotel’s conference space was transitioned to resident amenities including a fitness center, common laundry facilities, lounge areas, large outdoor courtyard and co-working space.

In addition to the sponsor’s experience in workforce housing, the business plan was attractive to Stonehill because of the strong traditional apartment market and demonstrated population growth in the area. And, once complete, the development offers new apartment product at affordable rents for the market.

Benefits of Adaptive Reuse for Affordable Housing

Adaptive reuse provides various benefits, making it an attractive option for affordable housing development.

  • Cost-effectiveness: Repurposing existing buildings for affordable housing can significantly reduce development costs compared to constructing new buildings. Existing structures often have solid foundations, basic infrastructure and utilities in place, which can save both time and money during the renovation process. This cost-effectiveness makes adaptive reuse an attractive option for affordable housing initiatives, as it maximizes available resources.
  • Preservation of heritage: Adaptive reuse projects offer the opportunity to preserve and celebrate a city’s architectural heritage and historic landmarks. By repurposing buildings with historical significance, communities can retain their cultural identity and architectural character while addressing the pressing need for affordable housing. This approach promotes a sense of pride, connects residents with their city’s history, and contributes to the overall cultural fabric of the community.
  • Sustainable solution: Utilizing existing structures through adaptive reuse aligns with sustainable development goals. It reduces the demand for new construction, which requires additional resources, energy, and land. Adaptive reuse minimizes waste generation and environmental impact associated with demolition and new construction by repurposing and renovating existing buildings. This approach promotes resource efficiency and contributes to the overall sustainability of urban development.
  • Revitalization of neighborhoods: Converting vacant or underutilized buildings into affordable housing has the potential to revitalize neighborhoods. Adaptive reuse projects can attract residents, businesses, and investments to previously neglected areas by breathing new life into these spaces. This revitalization enhances economic growth, improves community aesthetics, and fosters a sense of pride and ownership among residents. It also supports community development by providing affordable housing options and improving the overall quality of life in the neighborhood.

Considering these benefits, adaptive reuse is a multifaceted approach that addresses the affordable housing crisis and promotes sustainability, heritage preservation and community revitalization. It is an innovative solution that leverages existing resources to create positive social and environmental impacts in urban areas.

Lending Conditions Likely More Certain for Hotels in 2024

Peachtree CEO Greg Friedman was quoted in this recent CoStar Group article by Sean McCracken talking about the lending environment for hotels in 2024 and the opportunities for investor, operator, lenders like Peachtree Group.

Peachtree CEO Greg Friedman was quoted in this recent CoStar Group article by Sean McCracken talking about the lending environment for hotels in 2024 and the opportunities for investor, operator, lenders like Peachtree Group.

"Most traditional lenders aren't lending," said Friedman. "Forty percent of the debt market is traditionally made up of regional banks, community banks, national banks, and it's been in the press that banks are under pressure. So 40% of the market is struggling, the CMBS market makes up close to 25% to 30% of lending to hotels and that market is well under pressure, as well."But he said what is left of the market is attracted to hotels due to "really good asset-level performance."
