Both the deals are expected to close within the next 60 days.
In a statement, Park Hotels & Resorts said: “Following the sale of both hotels, Park’s exposure to San Francisco will decrease by 210 basis points to 14.6% based on 2019 pro-forma Hotel Adjusted EBITDA.
“Net proceeds from the sales will be used to partially repay debt currently outstanding on its one remaining bank term loan. Pro forma for the repayments, the Company expects to have approximately $80m of corporate bank debt outstanding.”
The hospitality company will receive gross proceeds of $221.5m from the sale of Le Meridien San Francisco. The sale price equates to a 5.9% capitalisation rate on 2019 net operating income, when adjusted for Park’s anticipated capex.

“The upcoming sales of these two assets highlight our unwavering commitment to reducing leverage and prudently allocating capital.
“Once these two dispositions are completed, we will have exceeded our stated goal of selling $300m to $400m of hotels in 2021, with our year-to-date disposition efforts totalling approximately $477m of gross proceeds.”
