May 31, 2013 - Sage Hospitality, one of the leading hotel investment and management companies in the U.S., is proud to announce the sale and management contract retention of four of its previously owned properties. Sage led the development of these assets in 1999 and 2000 and subsequently owned the hotel with Apollo Global Real Estate. Under Sage's leadership, the hotels have exceeded expectations in revenue and guest service metrics.

“Completing this sale and retaining management of the hotels is an ideal situation for our continuing growth strategy,” said Walter Isenberg, President and CEO of Sage Hospitality. “The retention of the contracts after sale is possible due to the property's drive for results and our associate's focus on providing outstanding service. We are looking forward to continued success with these four hotels.”

The hotels involved in the CPI Portfolio are: Hilton Garden Inn Orlando at SeaWorld, Hilton Garden Inn Atlanta Perimeter Center, Hilton Garden Inn Denver South Meridian and Homewood Suites SFO Airport North. Maintaining the four management contracts continues the growth of Sage's Select Service division which currently manages more than 40 hotels.

This is Sage's first management contract with Blackstone Real Estate Partners. “We are excited to maintain the management of these assets with Blackstone,” said Michael Everett, Chief Investment Officer of Sage. “They have a strong reputation as a leading asset management company and we are pleased to be able to work with them.” To learn more about Sage Hospitality and to view the management company's full portfolio, visit www.sagehospitality.com.
