Sonnenblick-Eichner Co. Arranges $50 Million Loan to Finance Acquisition and Renovation of Inn at Rancho Santa Fe in San Diego, CA

USA, Beverly Hills, California. July 12, 2022

Sonnenblick-Eichner Company on behalf of Steve Herman Hotels, has arranged $50 million in first mortgage debt for the acquisition of Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, an 82-room, full-service, luxury boutique resort located in north San Diego County's exclusive enclave of Rancho Santa Fe, CA

A portion of the loan proceeds will be used by the sponsor to fund an extensive $15 million "top-to-bottom" renovation that will reposition the resort as one of the most prominent and exclusive destinations in California. The non-recourse floating rate loan, which provided for 85% of total costs including the renovation of the property, was priced in the mid 7% range

"We were successful in sourcing multiple deal structures for 85% of total costs from a number of different capital providers, including debt and hedge funds as well as family offices," said Elliot Eichner, a Principal and Co-Founder of Sonnenblick-Eichner Company. "The loan was ultimately placed with an alternative investment fund that provided the entire capital stack and will hold the loan on-book to maturity."

"A contributing factor that facilitated the transaction was the sponsor's experience in renovating and repositioning similar resort properties," added Patrick Brown, also a Principal of Sonnenblick-Eichner Company.

Sales & Marketing: Integrating Technology


The Sales & Marketing department is responsible for maximizing a hotel's revenue by developing programs to increase occupancy and to make profitable use of its meeting and leisure facilities. Increasingly, managers are utilizing sophisticated digital technology to help them achieve those goals. Virtual Reality is being integrated into booking engines which provide potential guests the opportunity to tour a property from afar, including wedding, event and food & beverage facilities. Voice Search has also become a popular marketing tool. Using smart home devices, it's now possible for customers to book hotels entirely through voice commands. Chatbots are becoming more ubiquitous as hotels seek to refine their online customer service. Chatbots can answer common questions, push key marketing messages, increase direct bookings, and even guide customers through the booking process. Finally, hotels are already preparing for the debut of the Metaverse and planning how sales and marketing departments will fully participate. The June Hotel Business Review will focus on the sales and marketing strategies that some hotels are adopting and how they are benefiting from them.
