HREC Investment Advisors (“HREC IA”) is pleased to offer, to qualified investors, the opportunity to acquire the fee-simple interest in the 133-room Best Western Plus The Charles Hotel (“Hotel” or “Property”), situated at 1425 S 5th St Saint Charles, MO 63301.
The subject property represents a compelling hospitality investment opportunity within a stable suburban market in the St. Louis metropolitan area, anchored by higher education, regional healthcare infrastructure, and a diversified corporate and service-oriented employment base. The immediate trade area benefits from proximity to Lindenwood University, St. Charles Community College, and major regional healthcare providers including SSM Health St. Joseph Hospital – St. Charles and St. Peters, as well as a concentrated cluster of retail, dining, convention, and entertainment amenities within the City of St. Charles.
St. Charles’ economic foundation is well diversified for a secondary suburban market, with education and healthcare serving as primary demand drivers, complemented by business services, manufacturing, logistics, and professional services employment throughout St. Charles County and the greater St. Louis region. This mix supports consistent baseline lodging demand generated by visiting faculty and families, healthcare patients and providers, corporate travelers, consultants, vendors, and leisure visitors attending regional events and cultural attractions.
The property’s key locational attributes include strong accessibility along South 5th Street, proximity to Interstate 70 and the regional highway network, and adjacency to established commercial corridors and healthcare facilities. These combined characteristics position the hotel to effectively serve a broad demand base spanning business, healthcare, education, and leisure segments, supporting durable performance within the St. Charles lodging market.
