Global Hospitality Investment Group Acquires Doubletree Resort Scottsdale Paradise Valley

Hospitality-focused real estate private equity firm to enter high-growth, dynamic Scottsdale hospitality market through premium asset acquisition 

LOS ANGELES, July 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Hospitality Investment Group ("GHIG" or "the firm"), a hospitality-focused real estate private equity firm, today announced that it has acquired the Doubletree Resort Scottsdale Paradise Valley (the "Hotel"), an institutional quality, top-branded resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Hotel is located in Paradise Valley, a prime central location between the Kierland and Old Town Scottsdale areas, one of the highest growth, dynamic lodging and hospitality markets in the United States. Following the transaction, the Hotel will remain a Hilton flagged hotel.

The property spans more than 23 acres on Scottsdale Road and features 378 premium guestrooms, including 12 suites with panoramic views of the scenic areas surrounding Camelback & Mummy Mountains. Each oversized room features a spacious patio or balcony, with close access to two outdoor pools and the property's sweeping landscaped grounds. The Hotel also offers four high-quality food and beverage options, flexible indoor and outdoor meeting spaces for events and weddings, including a palm-lined fountain courtyard, lawn pavilion, and ballroom complete with chandeliers, tennis and basketball courts, and a state-of-the-art fitness center. Just minutes from Downtown Scottsdale, Hotel guests can enjoy unique landmarks, local shops, galleries and museums, and vibrant dining options.

"The Doubletree Resort Scottsdale Paradise Valley exemplifies our strategy of acquiring high-quality, irreplaceable assets in markets with strong demographic tailwinds and favorable supply and demand dynamics," said GHIG founder and CEO Kevin Colket. "With this acquisition, we will leverage our team's expertise in interior design, branding, and asset management to elevate an already best-in-class, ideally located institutional property with an outlook for continued growth in the years to come. We're also pleased to mark our first franchise partnership with Hilton, and look forward to working together to realize our vision for bringing this property to its greatest potential."   

GHIG will support meaningful enhancements to the guest experience for both leisure and business travelers through the firm's vertically integrated platform. With the support of GHIG's market-leading advisors across interior design, branding, and CAPEX, the firm intends to refresh the property and invest additional capital to further enhance the Hotel's position as the premier, full-service resort destination in the Downtown Scottsdale area.
