SeoulSpice founder and CEO Eric Shin, a Julliard-trained symphony percussionist, pivoted to food service to make Korean cuisine more accessible. The first SeoulSpice opened in 2016 in Washington, D.C.'s Noma neighborhood.

Blackstone’s latest debt fund could be a salve for hotel investors

  • David Eisen
  • 7 March 2025
🏦 Blackstone announced the final close of their BREDS V real estate debt fund on Friday, securing $8 billion in capital commitments. This matches the record for such investment vehicles and signals a property-market rebound, particularly in the hotel sector. The fund targets vulnerable hotel assets, betting on a commercial real estate upswing. Blackstone Real Estate Debt Strategies is capitalizing on current market conditions by buying underperforming loans and filling financing gaps where banks are reluctant to refinance. Despite pandemic impacts and rising interest rates since 2022 affecting property values, large capital availability continues to drive investments.

  • b.courtin1
  • 6 March 2025
🏨 Dalata Hotel Group, founded in 2007, operates 56 hotels in the UK and Ireland, with expansion into Europe. The company, traded on Euronext Dublin and the London Stock Exchange, with 30 owned properties valued at €1.7 billion, reported €652 million in revenue for 2024 and €234.5 million in adjusted EBITDA. Despite this, its share price of around €5.50 values the group at €1.2 billion, which the board believes is undervalued. Options such as a sale, merger, or private equity investment are being considered, advised by Rothschild & Co. Dalata seeks to reach 21,000 rooms by 2030, an 80% expansion, with 1,600 rooms already in development. In 2024, four new Maldron hotels opened, and Dublin's RevPAR for 2025 is expected to be 2.5% higher than Q1 2024.
