Host Hotels & Resorts, a US-based real estate investment trust, has acquired Baker’s Cay Resort Key Largo, Curio Collection for a cash consideration of nearly $200m.
Spread across 13 acres of beachfront land on Key Largo’s Gulf Coast, the 200-room property is said to offer all the benefits of a Florida Keys resort.

Host Hotels & Resorts president and CEO James Risoleo said: “We are pleased to announce the off-market acquisition of our first hotel in the Florida Keys which we believe will improve the EBITDA growth profile of our portfolio.
“After a complete $63m renovation and repositioning in 2019, Baker’s Cay shows like a new resort.
“Additionally, the Florida Keys market benefits from excellent supply-demand dynamics owing in part to strict development ordinances which have led to the highest 2019 upper-upscale RevPAR of any market in the US.”
Located 65 miles from Miami International Airport, Host Hotels & Resorts’ newly acquired property features a 26,000ft2 meeting space, as well as a 6,900ft2 event lawn and four food and beverage outlets.
