What is a Condotel?

A condotel, also known as a condominium hotel or condo hotel, combines individual condominium ownership with many of the services and amenities traditionally associated with a hotel.


Condotel units are generally individually owned, while the property may provide services such as a front desk, housekeeping, resort amenities, guest services, and short-term rental management.

Owners may also have the option to place their units into a hotel or resort rental program, allowing the property to be rented to paying guests when the owner is not using it.

Because condotels combine characteristics of condominiums, investment properties, vacation homes, and hotels, they can be difficult to finance through conventional mortgage programs.

That is where specialized condotel financing can help.

CONDOTEL REQUIREMENTS / PROPERTY & UNIT REQUIREMENTS:

  • At least 1 bedroom
  • Full kitchen with full-size refrigerator and stove/oven
  • Developer cannot retain ownership of project facilities
  • Amenities, parking, and recreational facilities generally cannot be leased from the developer or another party
  • Certain third-party commercial parking arrangements are acceptable

Financing a Condotel? Start With a Scenario Review.

Condotel financing is highly property- and program-specific. A property that one bank declines may qualify under a specialized condotel mortgage, DSCR, alternative-documentation, or investment-property loan program.
