Warehouse District hotel sold for $29M is latest deal in growing list of New Orleans sell-offs
A 231-room Sonesta Extended Stay hotel near the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans has been sold for $29 million, indicative of a significant slump in commercial property values across the city. This sale, at approximately $125,500 per room, is attributed to rising costs, high interest rates, and a slower-than-expected recovery in group travel post-pandemic, making it an attractive buying opportunity for investors despite the challenges faced by current hotel owners. The sale is also part of a broader national strategy by Service Properties Trust to sell off Sonesta-branded hotels to reduce debt.
