Four decades in this business have taught Daniel Lesser to not to fear uncertainty. From the Cuban Missile Crisis to COVID, despite dire warnings, the hospitality industry recovers and comes back stronger every time. This episode of the Distinguished Podcast was recorded on the road at the NYU International Hospitality Investment Forum in New York City, with guest host Kaushik Vardharajan, Director of Boston University School of Hospitality’s Real Estate Program.  

Daniel is Co-founder, President, and CEO of LW Hospitality Advisors, and one of the most widely quoted voices in lodging investment. In this conversation, he moves from the top line to the bottom line, discussing topics such as: 

  • How to find the opportunities in distressed markets 
  • Preventing the proliferation of brands from cannibalizing the parent brand 
  • Why he stays so bullish on San Francisco and New York
