Working exclusively on behalf of The Keating Hotel Group, HFF placed the 10-year, 4.7 percent, fixed-rate loan with Cantor Commercial Real Estate (CCRE).  Loan proceeds are paying off existing debt and repatriating equity.

                Originally built in 1890, The Keating Hotel is a luxury boutique hotel with 35 guest rooms that was renovated in 2007 and designed by Pininfarina, exclusive designers of Ferrari.
