What they said

Kenneth Hatton, head of hotels, Europe said: “Rob is well-known and widely respected across the industry and is a trusted advisor to a number of leading investors. His return to CBRE will further enhance the breadth of expertise of the existing Hotels Capital Markets team, which is bolstered by rich industry experience in-house as well as the strength of the Debt & Structured Finance team and wider CBRE business. With interest rates stabilising, the hotels investment market is starting to look very interesting for 2024 and beyond, and Rob’s arrival appears almost perfectly timed.”
