The Hotel Minneapolis, Autograph Collection
Minneapolis
Chesapeake Lodging Trust has closed on the sale of the 222-room The Hotel Minneapolis, Autograph Collection located in Minneapolis, for a sale price of $46 million, or $207,000 per key. The trust used the net proceeds from the sale to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility.
Chesapeake Lodging Trust had acquired the hotel in October 2012 for $46 million, or $207,000 per key. The $46-million sale price represents a 6.2% trailing 12 month NOI cap rate (after factoring in a needed 2018 renovation estimated at $5 million, the sale price represents a 5.6% NOI cap rate).
According to James L. Francis, president and CEO of Chesapeake Lodging Trust, the hotel is located in a non-core market for the company.
Davidson Hotels & Resorts has taken over management of the property, adding The Hotel Minneapolis to its Pivot Hotels & Resorts portfolio. A multimillion-dollar renovation is planned to begin in late 2018 and to be completed in early 2019. All areas of the 222-room hotel, including Restaurant Max and all public spaces, will be redesigned and reimagined.
