We define a "Boutique Hotel" as a (generally) smaller, independent hotel that has a unique design focused on the guest experience, and they are normally in trendy areas.

We generally refer to many different commercial short-term rental properties as Boutique Hotels for ease. With the similarities in how you acquire and manage different commercial short-term rental properties, there are several that fit under the umbrella of Boutique Hotels. These include hotels, motels, tiny home and cabin communities, certain types of glamping sites, landscape resorts, multifamily conversions to STRs, and more.

Boutique Hotel investing is commercial real estate investing with hotel operations. Short-term rental investing has some foundational pieces (frequent turnovers, aspects of marketing, guests instead of tenants) but it's also very different. Hotels require learning commercial real estate - which we will dig into at the Conference. In this realm the purchase prices are higher, debt is different, investors are often required, and operations are more robust. So you want to educate yourself before diving in and taking a big risk!

How you start is exactly this, so you're in the right place. Coming to the conference to learn the intricacies of Boutique Hotel investing and the differences in commercial real estate investing and acquisitions. First you educate, then you iterate. Once you know how to find hotel deals, and how to underwrite hotel deals - start looking for hotel deals! We'll help you do all that and more while putting you in a network of others doing the same or who have already done it.

The opportunity is huge right now! More investors are transitioning from residential Airbnbs to Boutique Hotels. It's the natural thing to do as they scale up their portfolios, learn more, and make more. Just like a single family home investing scaling up to buy apartments. So that added demand is to create appreciation in the market. And we are barely in the first quarter of this niche. When I (Blake) bought my first Boutique Hotels over 3 years ago, no one was talking about it. Since then it's started to grow roots and is gaining a lot of traction. So it's getting ahead of that appreciation wave! Where huge gains are to be had.

And now 10,000 Baby Boomers (who mostly own hotels) are retiring a day. Each of my 6 hotel purchases have been from Boomers, and there are hundreds of thousands of potential more out there. The transfer of small business wealth (hotels very much included) is going to be massive over the next 5-10 years.

They also operate as the hybrid between STRs and hotels and you attract guests from both. You can create the quality standards and have the amenities of hotels, while having the ease of booking and appeal of STRs. It's the best of both worlds and booking demand will show it.

In short, everything! Your room at the hotel and food during the conference is all part of the ticket. Perk of buying hotels with event spaces - you can do everything affordably onsite. Transportation to and from the hotel (and around town if desired) is the responsibility of the attendees.

Get ready for a completely difference conference experience. It will be part all-inclusive resort, part networking meetup, part conference learning, and every part fun! We'll have evening parties so attendees can get to know each other and the speakers. And we'll have some of the best individuals doing boutique hotels today presenting during the conference sessions.

Property owners (even if you don't own Boutique Hotels yet), beginner and experienced real estate and STR investors, entry-level Boutique Hotel investors, experienced Boutique Hotel investors, portfolio and Boutique Hotel property managers, industry partners and leaders in the space. As well as anyone looking to scale up from residential Airbnb investing to Boutique Hotel Investing!
