Strategy

CREATING EXCEPTIONAL VALUE IN THE LIMITED-SERVICE HOTEL SPACE

Excel Group employs nimble and dynamic value-add and opportunistic investment strategies that leverage the economic cycle to create exceptional value and returns. Uniquely positioned in the hotel investment space as a middle market firm, our company 1) plays in a sector that is too large for local players and too small for large institutions and 2) buys deals that are too complicated for large institutions.
