Explanation

A condo hotel is a development where condominium units are operated as hotel accommodations through a rental pool. Owners can use their units for limited personal time and earn rental income when units are in the hotel program. They have unique financing challenges (most conventional lenders won't finance condotels), hotel-style management, higher fees, and market risks tied to tourism.
