New York-based Blackstone invested US$17.7 billion in the first three months of the year, buying hotels including Extended Stay America, private-jet operator Signature Aviation and UK travel company Bourne Leisure.

Forward bookings for travel in the UK were also at a high. "This should be good time for the real world," Blackstone President Jonathan Gray said in an interview. "Businesses like tel...
