OAK BROOK, Ill.—Inland American Lodging Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of Inland American Real Estate Trust, announced that it has acquired the 107-room Lorien Hotel and Spa in Alexandria, Va., for a purchase price of approximately $45 million.
“This boutique luxury hotel is an excellent addition to our portfolio,” said Marcel Verbaas, president and CEO of Inland American Lodging Advisor (IALA). “With its superior positioning in this high barrier-to-entry market, this asset provides the opportunity to achieve premium RevPAR growth.”

“We are excited about this opportunity to start a relationship with Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants, who will continue managing this asset,” added Philip A. Wade, IALA’s senior vice president of investments. “We are thrilled that we were able to acquire another high quality and desirable luxury asset this year in a major market like Washington, D.C.”
