HotelHinge is a property-first census of American hotels: it starts from the property and attaches the public record to it - who owns it, what it sold for, and how it is financed. The figures on this page are aggregates of that record for Alabama. They are compiled only from public records and other lawfully accessible public sources, each figure is point-in-time and dated, and blanks are left honest rather than guessed. HotelHinge does not publish its own RevPAR, ADR, occupancy, or cap-rate figures.

Figures are point-in-time as of August 19, 2026 and update as the public record accrues. The hotel count is the published census total for Alabama; the CMBS and REIT figures are compiled from public securitization and REIT filings and are attributed as such, never restated as HotelHinge's own metrics. Price disclosure in deed records varies by state, so the count of priced sales reflects what is publicly disclosed, not the full volume of activity.
Coverage in Alabama
The census reaches 534 hotels in Alabama, part of 46,062 U.S. hotels across 51 markets (the 50 states plus the District of Columbia). Each property carries its identity and location, its physical characteristics from the assessor where available, its assessed value, and a transaction timeline. Coverage is built property by property from county and municipal records, which is why it reaches the long tail of smaller Alabama hotels that never appear in trade-press deal sheets, not only the marquee assets.
Ownership and REITs in Alabama
7 hotels in Alabama are attributed to a public hotel REIT, based on public REIT filings. REIT ownership is a small, well-documented slice of any state's market: most hotels are held by private owners, single-purpose LLCs, and operating companies. The census records the named owning entity from the deed and, where a REIT or parent company discloses it, links the property up to that owner. REIT-reported figures are always attributed to the filing they come from.
Hotel CMBS debt in Alabama
43 hotels in Alabama carry attributed CMBS debt in the census, matched from public securitization filings to the individual property. These are the loan- and property-level disclosures that accompany CMBS deals; HotelHinge compiles them, attributes them as reported in those filings, excludes rating-agency-created metrics, and publishes no rating or credit opinion of its own.
Transactions on record in Alabama
The census tracks 46 hotel financing events in Alabama, plus acquisitions, conversions, and openings, for 55 transaction and financing events overall. Recorded sale prices are still accruing for the state - price disclosure in deed records varies by state, and Alabama discloses few sale prices in the public record. HotelHinge also publishes free monthly U.S. hotel transaction rundowns; see the first-half 2026 roundup, each trade linked to its public source.

Our value is in the original selection, matching, and arrangement of those facts into a property-level record that no single source provides. The underlying facts are public; the compilation, its structure, and these aggregates are our own work.
