Advisory / sales
Independent hotel advisory based in New York. Public firm only.
Public source · Firm page · Hire process
Deal timeline · 1 graph events
Harbor attaches a desk when a press release or public pattern names the firm — not an unpublished book. Missing prices stay missing. Linked houses open a labeled estimate.
Hotel Chelsea · 155 keys · Independent / boutique
Consideration
Not disclosed
New York Times / trade coverage of Chelsea redevelopment
Ownership and capital stack changed during the long redevelopment. Published figures conflict across years (2011 sale vs later recap). Harbor will not pick a confidential or disputed number and present it as fact.
Hire · not a brochure
Match the desk to the species of hotel. A trophy and a Hampton do not share a banker. Harbor will not invent a producer, a cell, or a league table. This folio is process help, not a cold list.
LW Hospitality Advisors — New York has graph events without a cited price. Missing consideration stays missing.
I · Source
A desk appears when a press release, 8-K, or firm page names the house. Harbor will not invent a producer to fill a row.
II · Practice desk
CBRE Hotels Americas and HWE Atlanta stand in when Harbor will not publish a private cell. Deal credit still needs a source.
III · Finding
Years with no attached tape stay blank. That is not a void to fill with a league table.
IV · Comps
Segment, keys, region, affiliation. If they cannot say which tapes have public prices, they are selling atmosphere.
V · Conflict
Who else do they represent on this asset or this buyer? Undisclosed dual agency is how you pay twice.
VI · Engagement
Tail, protection list, co-broker, marketing spend, and whether they can be the buyer. A handshake is not a hire.
