Westin

Carey Watermark Investors (CWI) has purchased a 214-room Westin Minneapolis hotel in the US for around $66.4m.

Located in downtown Minneapolis, the property was originally built as the Farmers & Mechanics Bank building in 1942 where the adjoining office building was reconfigured to house the hotel’s guestrooms and meeting space, as part of the redevelopment in 2007.

Carey Watermark Investors (CWI) CEO Michael Medzigian said: "CWI’s investment in the Westin Minneapolis represented the opportunity to acquire an irreplaceable landmark and leading full-service hotel in a strong market.

"CWI’s investment in the Westin Minneapolis represents the opportunity to acquire an irreplaceable landmark."

The property is near to the Minneapolis Convention Centre, Target Field and Target Centre, in addition to major businesses such as Wells Fargo, US Bancorp, PwC, Ernst & Young and Accenture.
