Here's the Largest U.S. Hotel Deals of 2018
And that means assets traded and will continue to exchange hands. 2018 saw some major deals totaling $18.3 billion and approximately 51,100 hotel rooms with an average sale price per room of $357,000, according to the LW Hospitality Advisors "2018 Major US Hotel Sales Survey," which tracked 208 single-asset deals over $10 million, none of which were part of a portfolio. Those figures were up by comparison to the previous yearÕs survey, which saw 183 deals totaling about $13.6 billion in volume comprising 51,000 hotel rooms with an average sale price per room of $267,000.

The JV purchased the 400-room Greektown Casino Hotel in Detroit for $1 billion, or $2.5 million per room. Other notable transactions included:
