LionGrove

Overview

LionGrove is a hospitality investment firm that brings together a rare combination of world-leading acquisitions, financing, and operational experience, making it a differentiated investor. The firm focuses on acquiring hotels ranging from midscale to luxury and from limited service to full service, located in fundamentally strong markets across the United States and its territories. LionGrove's team has operated hotels across the U.S., the Caribbean, and Latin America, from upscale to luxury properties under various renowned brands, as well as independent properties ranging from small boutique hotels to some of the largest and most operationally complex properties in the world. The firm's investment strategy involves acquiring branded and independent hotel properties that can benefit from capital improvement plans, brand repositioning, and improved management oversight. Target transaction sizes range from $20 million to over $250 million, with a minimum of 100 keys per property. LionGrove's asset management approach is hands-on, with the same team that leads the acquisition of a hotel becoming the asset management team for that investment, ensuring strong accountability and implementation of the investment thesis. Additionally, LionGrove provides property management services through its affiliate, LionGrove Hospitality Management, for hotels that align with brand and other considerations. LionGrove's portfolio includes notable properties such as the Fairmont El San Juan Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico; Wyndham Palmas Beach and Golf Boutique Resort in Palmas Del Mar, Puerto Rico; Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Rainforest Beach and Golf Resort in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico; and ADERO Scottsdale Resort, Autograph Collection in Scottsdale, Arizona.
