ORLANDO, FL –– Holliday
Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced it has closed the $10.25 million sale of Castillo Real, a 60-room, full-service,
upscale boutique resort hotel in St. Augustine, Florida.
HFF marketed the property
on behalf of the seller, a joint venture partnership between Impact Properties
and DeBartolo Development. MSB Hotels
III purchased the asset and assumed an existing CMBS loan. Elite Hospitality LLC will manage the hotel.
Completed in 2005,
Castillo Real underwent extensive renovations during the past three years,
including full guestroom renovation. The
hotel is part of Choice Hotels’ Ascend Collection® and features beach access,
zero-entry outdoor pool and whirlpool, sauna, steam room, fitness center and
the award-winning La Cocina Restaurant.
Located at 530 A1A
Boulevard, Castillo Real is on the ocean side of A1A Beach Boulevard in St.
Augustine, a beachfront community known as the “Ancient City” for its place as
the oldest continuously occupied European settlement in the continental
U.S.
The hotel is less than
five miles from historic downtown and other St. Augustine destinations,
including the Fountain of Youth Museum, Castillo de San Marcos, Fort Matanzas,
San Sebastian Winery and the St. Augustine Lighthouse.

The HFF investment sales
team representing the seller was led by managing director Michael Weinberg and associate director Preston Reid.
“It was logical for MSB
Hotels III to buy the asset considering some of the family members (owners)
also own the newly-developed Courtyard by Marriott across the street as well as
Hilton Garden Inn and Hampton Inn a few blocks north of the Castillo Real,
which are all managed by Elite Hospitality LLC,” said Manoj Bhoola, president
and COO of Elite Hospitality LLC.
