The Westin Tampa Waterside hotel has been acquired by Newbond Holdings and Apollo Funds managed by US private equity firm Apollo Global Management.

The 309-room hotel is located in Downtown Tampa, Florida and sits directly across Garrison Channel from the $3bn, 53-acre redevelopment, Water Street Tampa.

In addition, it is easily accessible from the Tampa Convention Center and Amalie Arena, as well as Tampa’s new 2.6-mile Riverwalk.

Apollo Real Estate partner Dan Kwon said: “Our investment in the Westin Tampa Waterside is in line with our positive long-term outlook on the broader Tampa market, where we are acquiring high-quality real estate at a significant discount to replacement cost.

“We are excited about cementing our strategic partnership with Newbond through this transaction and working together to bring the hotel to its full potential.”

The companies did not disclose financial details of the transaction.
