Apollo Sells $195M Hotel Portfolio to REIT

Chatham acquired the five hotels listed below, which comprise a total of 764 rooms, for approximately $255,000 per room; the purchase nearly doubles Chatham's existing hotel investments. Chatham funded the acquisition through the assumption of five individual mortgage loans, secured by the hotels, totaling $134.2 million, as well as available cash and borrowings under its senior secured revolving credit facility.

The hotels will continue to be managed by Island Hospitality Management, a hotel management company 90% owned by Jeffrey Fisher, Chatham CEO and president.
