Business Model
Luxury lodging has been the strongest RevPAR segment of the recovery, wealthy travel never really paused, and Braemar’s resort collection captures it. Above the assets sits the Ashford advisory structure: external management fees, preferred equity with priority claims, and a track record of financial engineering that the market prices with a durable discount.
The Honest Risk Section
Structure over substance: advisory fees and preferred dividends absorb cash before common holders see it, leverage amplifies the luxury segment’s inherent cyclicality, and governance history (across the Ashford complex) earns our framework’s heaviest related-party discount. Beautiful assets; the common equity is last in a long line.
