Hotel Law, Transactions, Management and Franchising presents a practical guide to the issues that face lawyers and industry leaders working in the hospitality field. It aims to develop the reader’s understanding of the acquisition process and the complex relationships in management and franchise deals that dominate the hotel industry.

This text is written primarily as a desktop reference for legal practitioners working in the hotel law field and is also suitable for students studying towards hotel and hospitality careers both at an undergraduate and law school or graduate level. The highly experienced author, contributors and editors offer insights into the industry players and their preferred positions, desired outcomes, and the potential pitfalls that can ensnare even the most well-planned deals.

With broad coverage of the rapidly growing field of hospitality law―including gaming, recreation, and amenities― the book’s approach examines the dominant models of hotel ownership, management and franchising, and includes independent hotels and the move towards complex resorts. The book’s coverage of key legal topics ranges from real estate, to intellectual property, contracts, and finance.Hotel Law will give readers an understanding of the hospitality industry from the perspective of the transactional practitioner, while examining the multi-party relationships and agreements that develop between an owner, operator, licensor and lender.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Text with Little Basis in Authority
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2015
Verified Purchase
This text cites very little authority. Where the authors do cite authority, the authority is frequently extremely weak. For example, the authors cite Florida trial court decisions where the Florida Supreme Court has already opined on the same subject.

The vast majority of the text simply provides an explanation of how certain hotel-oriented agreements could be interpreted. Perhaps if the title of this text was changed to "The Branded Manager's Annotated Hotel Contracts", then we would have a better understanding of what this book is about.

If the authors continue to maintain this text, I'm sure we would all appreciate it if various typos were corrected (e.g. the glossary defines "Owner" as "see Hotel Owner" and "Hotel Owner" as "see Owner"). Perhaps the foregoing example is illustrative of a deeper problem in that this text seems to be the product of insular and circular rationale devoid of outside authority.

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2016
This text excellently covers an important field of law at the cornerstone of the hospitality and tourism industry. I attended a Hospitality and Tourism Law program at American University Washington College of law run by Professor Nelson Migdal and Professor Steven Shapiro. The program offers an unparalleled look at the Hotel industry from various legal and professional perspectives. The week long program brought speakers, offered sight visits, and promoted productive discussion about how law and the hotel industry. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in law and the hotel industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource!
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2016
I took a Hospitality Law course which used this text as a teaching resource. The text clearly explains different facets of Hospitality Law, and was easy to understand for a law student with little to no experience in this field. I would definitely recommend this text to anyone new to the field, or anyone interested in the intersection between hospitality and law.

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2016
These authors make complex legal concepts simple and digestible for a first year law student. It doesn't take a genius to write to an experienced lawyer.

It takes genius to write to a student and make them understand hard concepts as a whole. That's what the authors did.
