Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc. is overhauling its structure after completing a strategic review, planning to become a self-managed REIT, remain publicly traded, and terminate its advisory relationship with Ashford Inc. and affiliates. Management, including CEO Richard Stockton, will be employed directly by Braemar.
The company intends to focus on a streamlined portfolio of approximately six to eight luxury properties in the U.S. and Caribbean, which had a gross asset value of over $1 billion and generated total annual revenue of $300 to $350 million for the trailing twelve months ending March 31, 2026. Braemar expects the new in-house model to reduce general and administrative costs by more than $25 million annually.
The Board plans a near-total refresh, adding five new independent directors and an independent Chair while all current directors except Mr. Stockton step down, with no new directors having relationships with Ashford or its leadership. Braemar also expects to sell an additional two or three assets to fund obligations tied to the termination of the Ashford advisory relationship, including a Company Sale Fee and Master Agreement Termination Fee, while retaining a focused luxury portfolio.
