Laura Wolinsky Joins Hunter Hotel Advisors as Vice President, Capital Markets



Laura Wolinsky

WASHINGTON, D.C. and ATLANTA, GA, Jan. 16, 2013—Hunter Hotel Advisors today announced that Laura Wolinsky has joined the firm’s Capital Markets division as vice president adding significant depth to its capital markets capabilities.

“Hotel projects and financing are more complex than at any time in the past generation,” said Teague Hunter, president.   “Developer/owners can no longer simply call up the local bank and get a loan.  There are numerous hotel debt and equity instruments/structures, and those are constantly changing.  The right structure can play a major role in whether or not a deal ‘pencils out.’

Teague Hunter
“Capital sourcing for the hotel industry remains difficult and is far from stabilized in the current economic climate” he added.   “Laura is highly qualified and her breadth of lending and consulting experience gives Hunter significant expertise and depth to provide our clients with thoughtful, resourceful and pragmatic solutions to fulfill their financing needs.”

Wolinsky will work closely with Angelo Stambules, head of Hunter’s Capital Markets team, to source, underwrite and place hotel real estate debt and equity.  She will be in the company’s Washington, D.C. office, serving Hunter Hotel Advisors’ clients nationwide.
