LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HFF Real Estate Limited (HFF) announces the recapitalisation of the Atlas Hotels Portfolio, a 48-asset, limited-service hotel platform that totals circa 5,800 rooms located throughout England, Scotland and Wales.
The HFF team worked on behalf of the borrower, London & Regional Properties (L+R), to place the five-year, floating-rate loan with Morgan Stanley Real Estate Advisors (Morgan Stanley).
The Atlas Hotels Portfolio comprises 47 Holiday Inn Express Hotels and one Hampton Inn Hotel by Hilton. The borrower purchased the portfolio in 2016 and has been executing a significant expansion plan since acquisition.
The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower included senior managing director Michael Kavanau and director Brad Greenway.
“HFF is extremely excited and privileged to begin a new relationship with L+R while continuing to expand the existing relationship with Morgan Stanley to Europe,” said Kavanau, senior managing director and co-head of HFF’s London office.
“The successful outcome exemplifies our belief that our clients can benefit from the still relatively new debt advisory product in Europe,” added David Church, head of European Corporate Finance and co-head of HFF’s London office.
