Innisfree Hotels president and CEO Ted Ent said: “This is our fifth joint venture and ninth beachfront hotel with RREAF Holdings which exemplifies our successful commitment to adding premier developments to growing local, hospitality markets like Galveston.”
The city of Galveston’s tourism industry has experienced a surge, with visitor numbers reaching over eight million in 2022, a 25% increase from the previous year.
The trend is expected to continue, bolstered by the growth of the Houston metro area since 2020, which has made Galveston an increasingly popular destination for local residents seeking leisure activities.
RREAF Holdings CEO Kip Sowden said: “The Galveston market has exponential growth opportunities stimulated by its economy and the evolution of people moving to Texas in the past two years. We are honored to work with such distinguished companies as Innisfree Hotels and Margaritaville.
“With best-in-class management and highly amenitized options for our customers, we are offering a premier experience in a well-positioned hospitality asset for a fruitful future.”
