The wall may hold through year-end, but the foundation is shifting. For both borrowers and lenders, the time to plan for what’s next is now.

Originally seen HERE.

With $6.2 billion in hotel CMBS loans scheduled to mature this year, the hospitality sector is staring down its most active refinancing cycle since the pandemic era. But despite concerns around rate pressure, asset-level performance and capital availability, the reality is less of a crisis and more of a slow burn. Structural relief mechanisms and temporary income stability keep defaults at bay for now.

However, watchlists are swelling beneath the surface, debt yields are compressing, and many loans may struggle to find refinancing solutions without sponsor capital or modifications.

In the Single-Asset Single-Borrower (SASB) segment, $2.07 billion in hotel loans is set to mature in 2025 across just seven loans. Structurally, this segment remains resilient—at least in the short term:

  • $1.17 billion across three loans are watch listed due to operating stress.
  • $308.8 million is in special servicing but still performing.
  • The remaining $595.75 million is fully performing with no flags.
  • All loans have at least 34 months of extension options remaining.

While several loans exhibit declines in NOI and DSCR, sponsors actively exercise their extension rights. These structures function as intended, delaying maturity risk while borrowers navigate softer fundamentals.

Conduit: Refi math gets tougher

The conduit CMBS market reveals more fragility with 253 conduit hotel loans totaling $4.12 billion scheduled to mature this year. The loan status breakdown highlights the underlying credit concern:

  • 47 loans ($848.5M) are performing and not watch listed.
  • 172 loans ($2.72B) are performing but on the watchlist.
  • 6 loans ($164.6M) are performing but in special servicing.
  • 3 loans ($15.5M) are delinquent and watch listed.
  • 25 loans ($376.5M) are delinquent and in special servicing.

Only 21% of loans are both current and clean. Nearly 80% of the 2025 conduit maturity pool shows signs of stress, with limited structural relief options.

Debt yield realities

A closer look at debt yields highlights the refinancing gap. In today’s market, lenders generally require 10% to 12% or higher debt yields, especially for full-service or non-core hotel assets. Among the 2025 conduit maturities:

  • 13% of loans have debt yields under 6%—well below refinance thresholds.
  • 26% fall between 6% and 9%—a challenging middle ground.
  • 24% are in the 9% to 12% range—approaching lender targets.
  • 50% are at 12% or above—more likely to qualify for takeout financing.

This stratification suggests that roughly one-third of conduit maturities are over-leveraged under today’s lending standards. Without new equity or modification, many will require discounted payoffs or restructuring to move forward.

And then there’s capex

Even for loans that appear refinanceable based on in-place income, many hotel assets face deferred capital expenditures that don’t appear in debt yield metrics. These can include brand-mandated PIPs, mechanical upgrades, or postponed renovation projects during COVID-19.

Quote

If you’re [accurate debt yield is] under 9%, you’re in the danger zone and need to engage your servicer and capital partners now. Between 9% and 10%, execution is everything; get conversations going in the debt markets and understand your real options. Over 10%, you’re in range but don’t ignore deferred capex or looming PIPs. Start the conversation at least six months so you’re seen as a partner, not a fire drill.

Lenders increasingly factor these costs into their sizing and approval processes, especially for institutional-quality and branded hotels. As a result, the actual refinancing gap may be even larger than the data suggests, requiring borrowers to bring fresh equity to meet leverage tests and fund overdue improvements.

Delays, not defaults… yet

The 2025 hotel CMBS maturity wall hasn’t collapsed but shows signs of fatigue. SASB borrowers are deferring pressure through extension options. Conduit borrowers, on the other hand, are walking a narrower path, with fewer tools and more visible distress.

If you have a 2025 maturity coming, don’t wait for the problem to hit your inbox. Get ahead of it. Start by calculating your accurate debt yield based on trailing-12 NOI, not optimistic projections.

If you’re under 9%, you’re in the danger zone and need to engage your servicer and capital partners now. Between 9% and 10%, execution is everything; get conversations going in the debt markets and understand your real options. Over 10%, you’re in range but don’t ignore deferred capex or looming PIPs. Start the conversation at least six months so you’re seen as a partner, not a fire drill.

Run the math: if your refi + capex + working capital equals more than 15% to 20% of the asset’s value, you’re not refinancing—you’re resetting. And if that reset doesn’t make sense, it might be time to sell.

Q3 gives you options. Q4 won’t. The owners who win this cycle aren’t the ones who waited. They’re the ones who moved early while the market was still listening.

Second-half predictions

  • A rise in maturity extensions disguised as modifications
  • Discounted payoffs and note sales on underperforming assets
  • More conduit transfers to special servicing as market conditions tighten

The wall may hold through year-end, but the foundation is shifting. For both borrowers and lenders, the time to plan for what’s next is now.
