ORLANDO, FL –– Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced it has closed the sale of the Seaside Amelia Inn, a 46-room beachfront hotel in the Amelia Island community of Fernandina Beach, Florida.

HFF marketed the property on behalf of the seller, TRU Hotels & Resorts, LLC.  Innisfree Hotels purchased the asset free and clear of debt and unencumbered of management.

Located at 2900 Atlantic Avenue, Seaside Amelia Inn is located steps away from the Atlantic Ocean and Fernandina Beach, one of Florida’s most pristine coastal destinations and off the coast of Jacksonville.

 The hotel is situated along AIA Beach Boulevard less than two miles from the Fernandina Beach Historic District and proximate to top Amelia Island destinations, including the Amelia Island Historic District, Fernandina Beach Golf Club, Amelia Island Lighthouse and Fort Clinch State Park.

 The Seaside Amelia Inn features a daily southern home-style breakfast, outdoor swimming pool, oceanfront roof top sun deck and meeting space and activity corner.  Completed in 2008, the hotel is adjacent to The Sandbar & Kitchen, a new restaurant opening this spring.

The HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by associate directors Preston Reid and Alexandra Lalos and senior managing director Michael Weinberg.

“Opportunities to acquire assets in markets like Amelia Island, where the majority of the assets are privately owned by long term investors, are rare,” Reid said.

“Northeast Florida has shown strong performance growth in last 12 months, emerging as a new highly desirable Florida beachfront market,” Lalos added.
