Access Point Financial announced it closed and invested in approximately $1.6 billion of hotel financings in 2025, spanning refinancings, acquisitions, construction loans, mezzanine financings, and select hospitality CMBS investments.
The Atlanta-based hospitality-focused capital provider said the 2025 activity covered 49 hotel assets, skewing toward select-service properties while also including extended-stay and luxury hotels. The smallest financing cited was a $7.1 million SpringHill Suites property in Ohio, while the largest single-asset deal was a $195.0 million refinancing of the Beekman Thompson in New York, underscoring what the firm described as its ability to support both smaller single-asset transactions and large, complex financings.
Access Point said its current portfolio includes financings across 38 states and spans hotel categories from luxury and upscale select-service to economy extended-stay. The firm also noted that its portfolio is primarily comprised of hotels affiliated with major brands including Marriott, Hilton, IHG and Hyatt.
Company executives positioned the 2025 volume as a signal of execution and capacity heading into 2026, emphasizing speed, flexibility, and certainty of close, as well as the ability to pursue both single-asset and portfolio opportunities across a wide range of sizes and structures.
Founded in 2011, Access Point Financial is a real estate private credit firm focused on hospitality, providing senior debt, construction debt, mezzanine and preferred equity financing and other direct investment solutions to qualified hotel owners and franchisees, as well as independent boutique hotels across the United States.
