Peachtree is led by Friedman, Jatin Desai as managing principal and CFO, and Mitul Patel as principal.

Callahan, a 25-year hospitality veteran, previously served as vice president of revenue management at Atrium Hospitality and JQH Hotels, where she developed a multi-branded revenue management platform, the statement said.

Report: Extended-stay April performance mixed

What's the latest on US extended-stay hotel performance for April 2025?

U.S. EXTENDED-STAY AND overall hotel RevPAR declined in April, reflecting their long-term correlation, according to The Highland Group. Economy and mid-price extended-stay hotels performed better than their respective classes, while upscale extended-stay hotel RevPAR fell in line with all upscale hotels, according to STR/CoStar.

This gain partly reflects the addition of mid-price brands WaterWalk by Wyndham in May 2024 and Executive Residency by Best Western in January to the database.
