"I am excited to pass the torch to Aimbridge Hospitality, a company just as dedicated to innovation and revenue growth," said Dale Hodgson, CEO at Bellstar Hotels & Resorts. "The robust infrastructure and proven managerial performance Aimbridge brings to the table bodes really well for our owners and guests going forward."

The transaction adds seven Canadian properties with a total of more than 600 keys to Aimbridge Hospitality's ever-growing hotel portfolio.

The newly acquired properties, all independent assets located in Western Canada, include the following:
