Essential insights for hoteliers selecting a management company
The U.S. hotel industry is facing a complex operating environment in 2025, marked by strong demand, ongoing workforce challenges, and mounting economic pressures. According to the Hospitality Asset Managers Association (HAMA) Spring 2025 Industry Outlook Survey, approximately 55 percent of respondents report having made or planning to make changes to their brand and/or management strategy, reflecting a broader shift among hotel owners and operators to adapt their business models in response to tightening margins and shifting market dynamics. The American Hotel & Lodging Association projected the industry will add over 14,000 jobs this year; however, staffing is still expected to fall short of 2019 levels in nearly every state, intensifying the pressure on hotel managers to maintain service quality with leaner teams. These internal challenges are further compounded by external ones, including growing concerns about a potential recession, tariffs that inflate the cost of supplies and renovations, and upward pressure on wages. In this climate, hotel managers must prioritize operational agility, workforce retention, and strategic brand alignment to stay competitive and financially resilient. This year, LODGING highlights over 50 management companies that can help hoteliers meet those aims and navigate any upcoming challenges.
