The Big Apple saw record tourism last year. Generally, the hospitality industry has undergone improvements. In fact, Michael Stoler, president of New York Real Estate TV LLC and a managing director at Madison Realty, has confirmed the popularity of investing in NYC hotels. Several properties are owned by local independents. Within this asset class, the most active participants are real estate investment trusts and private-equity funds.

 

Obviously, New York City hotels do not come at bargain basement prices. Although it is possible to get a deal, savvy investors are not dissuaded anyway by prices for hotels in the Big Apple. Owning a piece of the NYC hospitality sector is a wise investment. Major centers like New York are historically-sound real estate markets.
