Otten Johnson provides legal and business counsel to property owners, operators, franchisors, franchisees, investors, lenders, and financial institutions across the hospitality and resort industry. Our experience spans boutique hotels to large ski and golf resorts, including some of Colorado’s most prominent mountain destinations. We have worked with most major hotel brands in the United States as well as many luxury independent properties.
We advise on acquisitions and dispositions, management and operating agreements, franchise agreements, land use planning and entitlements, project financing, joint ventures, and rebranding. We also handle timeshare, condominium, and mixed-use projects; conservation easements; water and natural resource rights, and the federal and state lands issues central to ski and mountain resort development. Our litigation group handles disputes across the full range of hospitality and resort matters, and our corporate attorneys assist with mergers and acquisitions, tax and tax credits, and entity structuring.
