The hotel business has been devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Occupancy rates have plummeted, leaving owners and managers scrambling to work out how they will pay their debt-related obligations.

This one-hour online moderated session will feature a panel of hotel industry and commercial real estate experts who will examine the various lending options available to hard-pressed hotel owners and operators.
