BRIDGE AND KALIBRI aim to provide hotel owners and lenders with AI tools to improve market intelligence and support underwriting. It combines Bridge’s network and capital markets expertise with Kalibri’s data platform to help stakeholders access insights, evaluate opportunities and make investment decisions.
Kalibri’s hotel market data will be available through Bridge’s platform, giving owners and lenders visibility into market performance and dynamics, the companies said in a statement. This allows users to access market-level performance directly within investment and financing workflows.
Charlotte-based Bridge is led by Cofounder and CEO Rohit Mathur, and Maryland-based Kalibri is led by Cofounder and CEO Cindy Estis Green.
“Hospitality is entering a new era where data and AI must work together seamlessly,” Mathur said. “Our partnership with Kalibri positions us to deliver AI solutions that empower owners and lenders to act with speed and confidence.”
In April, AAHOA and Bridge launched AAHOALending.com, a digital lending platform for hospitality, offering AAHOA members access to more than 150 lenders and enabling users to compare financing options, find rates and secure funding.
Kalibri will work with Bridge’s lender network to support underwriting across the hospitality sector, the statement said. Using Kalibri data and reports, lenders can incorporate RevPAR composition and customer acquisition costs into deal evaluation, risk assessment and loan structuring.
The initiative aims to improve transparency and confidence in hospitality transactions, especially where demand forecasting, segmentation analysis and profit contribution are key to capital allocation, the companies said.
Green said access to forward-looking market data that reflects a hotel’s potential is essential for underwriting.
“By working with Bridge and its lender network, we’re ensuring that capital providers and owners can base decisions on a deeper understanding of demand in any market or submarket and tie that to profit potential,” she said.
Looking ahead, Bridge and Kalibri will develop AI tools for hotel owners, lenders and brands, the statement said. The tools will combine market data, transaction intelligence and analytics to streamline decisions and provide actionable recommendations.
The goal is to move beyond static reporting to systems that identify investment opportunities, support underwriting and scenario modeling, provide performance benchmarking and guide strategic planning for owners and brand partners, the statement said.
In June, Red Roof announced it is working with Bridge to improve capital access for hotel owners and developers, enabling them to submit loan requests in about 10 minutes and tap into Bridge’s network of more than 150 lenders.
