INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
HUNTER HOTEL ADVISORS has been exclusively retained to solicit offers for the leasehold interest in the 128-key Courtyard Orlando South Grande Lakes, built in 2015. This offering presents an outstanding investment opportunity in a newer-build, recently renovated, premium-branded select-service hotel located in the heart of Orlando’s most prestigious luxury resort corridor. Surrounded by strong leisure and corporate demand drivers, and set amidst significant ongoing development, the Hotel is well-positioned to deliver substantial value to its next owner.
- Institutional, Recently Renovated Marriott-Branded Asset: Built in 2015 with a steel and fiber cement panel structure, the Hotel underwent a comprehensive 7-year refresh in 2024, totaling approximately $16K per key. The PIP required by Marriott for the next owner is confirmed to be nominal, offering the opportunity to capture continued post-renovation upside ahead of its first post-PIP RFP season.
- Prime Orlando Location Surrounded by Top Demand Drivers: Located in the heart of Orlando—the 2nd fastest-growing U.S. city—the Hotel is positioned to benefit from the market’s projected outsized growth in both business and leisure travel demand.
-
- Adjacent to Darden Restaurants HQ: Located directly on the Darden Restaurants corporate campus, home to brands including Olive Garden and Ruth’s Chris, with 175,000 employees and hundreds of visiting vendors, generating consistent room night demand.
- Closest Select-Service Hotel to Grande Lakes Orlando Resort: Neighboring the 500-acre Grande Lakes Orlando Resort—home to The Ritz-Carlton (582 keys) and JW Marriott (1,010 keys)—the Hotel benefits from year-round compression and high-rated overflow demand. The resort features 169,000 SF of luxury meeting space and 18-hole championship golf course (host of the PNC Championship).
- Additionally, the property benefits from proximity to Orlando’s world-renowned attractions including, SeaWorld (3 miles), Orange County Convention Center (4 miles), Universal Orlando Resort (5 miles), and Walt Disney World Resort (8 miles).
- Operational Upside / Value-Add Potential: A new owner will benefit from further upside driven by the recent renovation, with opportunities to increase RevPAR and NOI without disrupting operations. Additional value can be realized through improved parking revenue (currently underpriced relative to market comps) and transitioning from institutional to more efficient local management.
- Flexible Offering with Strong Brand Affiliation: The leasehold interest is being offered unencumbered by management or debt and will benefit from a 15-year+ franchise term with Marriott.
