Hunter Hotel Investment Conference 2026

The Hunter Hotel Investment Conference is one of the most respected mid-market hotel investment events in the United States, convening owners, operators, lenders, and advisors at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis for three days focused on the select-service and extended-stay segments.

Now in its 38th year, Hunter has built its reputation on direct, unfiltered market intelligence. The conference draws senior decision-makers who control significant portfolios in the limited-service space, making it the defining gathering for anyone active in the mid-market lodging investment sector. Panel discussions are deliberately structured to generate genuine debate rather than consensus — Hunter sessions consistently produce the most candid assessments of where the market is heading.

The 2026 programme includes dedicated tracks on franchise agreements and brand relationships, construction costs and timeline uncertainty in new development, the acquisition environment for distressed assets, and the technology investments that are redefining the guest experience in select-service hotels. The deal room format allows participants to schedule targeted one-on-one meetings with counterparties they want to connect with.
