In addition, the company is also acquiring five luxury condominium residences adjacent to the hotel.

The Mr. C was built in 1965 and underwent an extensive renovation in 2011. It has 138 guestrooms, including 22 suites; a full-service spa; and three food and beverage outlets (in addition to in-room dining). The hotel also offers more than 24,000 sq. ft. of flexible indoor/outdoor meeting space; a 4,500-sq.-ft. outdoor pool terrace with daybeds and cabanas; a fitness center with personal fitness training; and a business center. Additionally, the property includes five newly constructed and fully furnished residences offering the hotel’s personalized services and amenities.
The total consideration for the acquisition is $77.9 million and consists of $65.4 million for the hotel ($474,000 per key) and an allocated price of $12.5 million for the five adjacent condominium units. The purchase price for the Mr. C represents, as of Dec. 31, 2019, a trailing 12-month capitalization rate of 5.0% on hotel net operating income of $3.9 million and a trailing 12-month 16.5x hotel EBITDA multiple, according to Braemar’s preliminary estimates based on unaudited operating financial data provided by the sellers.
