At the south pole there are peaks in constant sunlight. With the water-ice at the same location, you have the prime real estate everyone is now in a "gold rush" to claim.

Prime real estate is important and hotels on the moon would be a truly wonderful thing.

But in the meantime, its the military high-ground that's most important and that's not on the moon, but at the L5s.
