JLL closes sale of Diplomat Beach Resort in Florida; third largest single-asset hotel sale ever in the U.S.

JLL represented the seller during the transaction. The resort was purchased by a joint venture of Trinity Fund Advisors LLC and Credit Suisse Asset Management. The Diplomat Beach Resort has been extensively renovated and repositioned in 2018 through a $90 million capital plan. This is a premier resort for meeting and events on the beachfront. There are 1,000 guest rooms and suites, as well as 200,000 square feet integrated meeting and event space. The 33-story twin-spired tower houses the hotel rooms. There is also a 14,000-square foot spa, eight bars and restaurants, multiple pools, and cascading waterfalls. Jeffrey Davis stated that U.S. group demands reached 93% in the first few months of 2022 and that we expect even more growth through 2023. This will be driven primarily by high-end and upper-upscale hotels. The Diplomat Beach Resort is conveniently located between two of South Florida's most important airports, Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport (10 min) and Miami International Airport (30 min). This gives the resort unrivalled access to visitors from all over the world, including Latin America, Europe, and the U.S. The Diplomat Beach resort is the third-largest single-asset hotel transaction in American history. This makes a strong statement about the economic strength and durability of South Florida.
