Pebblebrook Hotel Trust has completed the divestment of the 343-room, Liaison Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. for $111m.

The sale price reflects a 16.9x EBITDA multiple and a 4.9% net operating income capitalisation rate as per the trailing twelve-month operating performance for the period ended 31 December 2018.

The firm plans to use the proceeds from the divestment for general business purposes which may include reducing its outstanding debt.

Following this divestment, the company estimates its total net debt to trailing 12-month corporate EBITDA to be approximately 4.8 times at the end of the first quarter 2019.
