Ashford Hospitality Trust has sold the Courtyard Boston Downtown, a 315-room hotel located at 275 Tremont Street in Boston for $123 million. JLL's Hotels & Hospitality Group represented the seller.
Originally built in 1925 as the headquarters for Boston's Lodge No. 10 of the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks, the historic 13-story property includes Post No. 10 Restaurant & Bar, a fitness center, a business center, 12,684 square feet of various meeting space including a grand ballroom and approximately 46,000 square feet of leased retail space.
The hotel is walking distance of the Boch Center's Wang and Shubert Theatres, The Wilbur Theatre and Citizens Opera House. It is also surrounded by educational and medical institutions such as Emerson College, Suffolk University and Tufts University School of Medicine.
The JLL Hotels & Hospitality team was led by Managing Director Alan Suzuki, Senior Director Matthew Enright and Associate Emily Zhang.
"Boston's diverse lodging demand generators and high barriers to entry continue to make it one of the most attractive hotel investment markets in the U.S.," Suzuki said in a statement. "The Courtyard Boston Downtown garnered significant investor interest due to its irreplaceable location and value-add potential."
