- A Fragile Truce
Apr 12, 2026 · seekingalpha.com
U.S. equity markets extended their rebound this week as investors welcomed tentative progress toward de-escalation in the Middle East following several days of dramatic threats of significant escalation. The fragile pause in hostilities temporarily eased fears of a prolonged disruption to global energy supplies and fueled a sharp retreat in oil prices after a surge to four-year highs. Markets also found support from lukewarm inflation data and signs that the U.S. labor market continues to demonstrate resilience despite elevated energy costs and geopolitical uncertainty.
- Ashford Hospitality Trust sells four hotels and lines up two more sales
Apr 10, 2026
US-based real estate investment company Ashford Hospitality Trust has completed the sale of four hotels and agreed to sell two more as part of a portfolio streamlining plan.
The company plans to use most of the proceeds to reduce mortgage debt and expects the transactions to eliminate more than $60m in future capital expenditures.
The closed disposals include La Posada de Santa Fe, Hilton St Petersburg Bayfront, Hilton Alexandria Old Town, and Embassy Suites by Hilton Palm Beach Gardens PGA Boulevard.
These four assets generated $252.5m in gross proceeds, equating to $280,000 per room.
On a trailing 12-month basis to 31 December 2025, the combined sale price reflects a 6.0% capitalisation rate on net operating income (NOI), or 14.5 times hotel earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA), when adjusted for anticipated capital expenditure of $57.6m.
Excluding that spend, the metrics equate to a 7.4% capitalisation rate or 11.8 times hotel EBITDA.
The company has also signed definitive agreements to sell the 168-key Lakeway Resort & Spa for $37.8m ($225,000 per room) and the 150-key Embassy Suites by Hilton Dallas Near the Galleria for $17m ($113,000 per room).
Ashford Hospitality Trust expects these sales to close by May 2026, subject to customary conditions, and stated there is no assurance they will complete on the agreed terms or at all.
Based on the 12 months to 31 December 2025, the combined pricing for the pending sales implies a 4.8% capitalisation rate on NOI, or 16.2 times hotel EBITDA, when adjusted for anticipated combined capital expenditure of $2.5m; excluding that spend, the figures are a 5.0% capitalisation rate or 15.5 times hotel EBITDA.
Ashford Hospitality Trust president and CEO Stephen Zsigray said: “We remain focused on maximising shareholder value, and these sales accomplish all three of our strategic objectives: improved cash flow after debt service, significantly reduced future capital expenditure obligations, and lower portfolio leverage.”
The transactions follow the company’s previous update in February, which reported agreements to sell La Posada de Santa Fe Resort & Spa for $57.5m ($364,000 per room) and Hilton St Petersburg Bayfront for $96m ($288,000 per room), both subject to normal closing conditions at that time.
In the update, the company said these actions supported its efforts to deleverage, boost liquidity, and improve cash flow.

- Ashford Hospitality Trust offloads Virginia hotel for $58M
Apr 6, 2026
This story was originally published on Hotel Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Hotel Dive newsletter.
Dive Brief:
Ashford Hospitality Trust has sold a Hilton hotel in Alexandra, Virginia, for $58 million in an all-cash deal, per a recent U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing. Ashford Alexandria LP, a subsidiary of the Dallas-based REIT, completed the sale of the 252-room, pet-friendly Hilton Alexandria Old Town to Chicago-based Lodging Capital Partners, per the March 31 filing. The company also paid around $32.5 million to repay the mortgage lender, initially secured by the hotel. The sale aligns with Ashford’s strategy to offload assets from its portfolio in an effort to deleverage its balance sheet, while also improving cash flow and liquidity, Ashford President and CEO Stephen Zsigray previously said in a release. In November, the REIT sold three assets in Texas and Louisiana for nearly $70 million.
Dive Insight:
Ashford, which owned about 68 hotels as of December 2025, has been selling properties at a steady clip as it furthers its strategy to shed its portfolio.
In a fourth-quarter and year-end 2025 earnings call on Feb. 26, Zsigray said that “opportunistic dispositions will remain a core component” of the company’s strategy in 2026.
During the same call, Zsigray said the company agreed to sell three of its hotels, including the La Posada de Santa Fe, a Tribute Portfolio Resort & Spa in New Mexico for $57.5 million; the Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront in Florida for $96 million; and the Embassy Suites Palm Beach Gardens PGA Boulevard in Florida for $41 million.
The three sales are expected to “save an additional $45 million in anticipated capital expenditures,” said Zsigray, who was appointed CEO in April 2024. At least two of these deals closed in March — Virginia-based Crescent Hotels & Resorts, in partnership with William Cole Companies and Abo Empire, a New Mexico family office, bought the Santa Fe hotel, per a Crescent release; and Florida-based Kolter Group purchased the St. Petersburg Hilton hotel, per the Tampa Bay Times.
On the earnings call, Zsigray added that Ashford was currently negotiating off-market transactions on 18 additional hotels, though “we may not ultimately transact on all of them.”
Looking ahead, he said, “We expect that our continued focus on performance combined with strategic, low-cap-rate dispositions will result in a leaner, stronger portfolio.” Since last February, the company has sold six hotels, including the Residence Inn San Diego Sorrento Mesa in California for $42 million, which in total generated about $145 million in sales proceeds, “representing a blended 3.9% trailing cap rate, while also eliminating nearly $50 million in anticipated capital expenditures.”
Stronger debt markets, particularly in the U.S., are expected to facilitate a “robust increase” in global hotel investment volumes for 2026, per a February JLL report. Additionally, more deals are poised to go through this year in part due to better price transparency.
