HFF Announces the Sale of Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel

Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announces the sale of the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel, a 1,231-room, full-service hotel housed within a 1.9-million-square-foot mixed-use development in downtown Denver.

The HFF team marketed the property on behalf of the seller, a partnership operated by The Chartres Lodging Group, LLC. A joint venture between High Street Real Estate Partners and Eagle Four Real Estate Partners acquired the asset.

With its 1,231 rooms, Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel is the largest hotel in Colorado by key count. The hotel comprises the 22-story IM Pei Tower and an eight-story Plaza Building that houses 133,000 square feet of function space, including a 28,000-square-foot ballroom and 53 versatile meeting spaces; 31,915 square feet of retail space; a fitness center; outdoor heated rooftop swimming pool with cabanas and lounges and views of the Denver skyline; business center; and multiple food and beverage outlets, including 16Mix Bar, Yard House, Hacienda Colorado, Peet’s Coffee & Tea, Zoup! and the Sheraton Club Lounge. Located at 1550 Court Place, Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel is in the heart of downtown Denver and along the 16th Street Pedestrian Mall, the most populous street in the Denver region. The hotel is within a two-mile radius of about 48 million square feet of office space; the Colorado Convention Center; sports venues for MLB, NBA, NHL and NFL teams; award-winning cultural attractions; and three college campuses.

The HFF investment advisory team representing the seller included senior managing director Eric Tupler, managing directors Tony Malk and Scott Hall and associate Tyler Dumon.

“The sale of the Sheraton demonstrates the continued growth of the downtown Denver hotel market and the upside available for a new owner through renovation,” Tupler said.

“We continue to see strength in the hotel capital markets for well-located hotels such as the Sheraton Denver that have a unique position in their respective submarkets,” Malk added.
