2026 Hotel Developer Summit | Panel | Paul Fischmann, Antony Ritch & Sam McVay

Inside the business playbook of leading developers and investors and why 2026 is the year to act – or not.

This panel discussion will explore how hotel owners, developers and investors are approaching the next few years, especially in the context of persistently challenging construction conditions. Is 2026 the year to “cash in” and recycle capital or is replacement value still the most important factor influencing the thinking of key players?

Paul Fischmann (Owner, 8Hotels), Antony Ritch (CEO, TFE Hotels), and Sam McVay (Managing Director, McVay Real Estate) sit down with Adam Di Marco (Founder & Chief Executive Officer, The Urban Developer) for a discussion.
