Overview
Arbor Lodging is a real estate investment and management platform focused on hospitality and multifamily properties. It has two divisions: Arbor Lodging Partners makes direct equity investments in underperforming hotels and apartment buildings, while Arbor Lodging Management handles hotel operations and asset management for its own assets and third-party properties. The firm uses a value-add approach, buying properties to renovate, improve operations, and reposition them to generate strong risk-adjusted returns, with a portfolio across the United States and Latin America that includes brands like Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, and IHG. ARLO Residential is a new vertical that converts properties into affordable multifamily housing.
