Insights
The acquisition by Host Hotels & Resorts of the two-hotel complex in Nashville for $530 million is a strategic move to capitalize on Nashville's growing tourism and convention market. The purchase price is aligned with industry EBITDA multiples, which are typically in the range of 10x to 14x for high-quality assets. The expected cap rate of 7.4% is notable, as it is slightly above the average urban hotel cap rates, which tend to hover around 6% to 7%, indicating a potentially higher yield on investment for Host Hotels & Resorts. Furthermore, the lack of near-term capital expenditure needs suggests an attractive post-acquisition cash flow scenario. However, investors should monitor how the integration of these properties into Host's portfolio affects overall operational efficiency and whether the projected RevPAR and EBITDA per key metrics can be realized amidst the increasing supply growth in Nashville.
Host Hotels & Resorts' addition of the 1 Hotel Nashville and Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville Downtown aligns with the broader industry trend of investing in unique, experiential properties with diversified amenities. The strong historical RevPAR CAGR of 7.7% for Nashville supports the company's bullish outlook on the market, with leisure and convention demand drivers bolstering performance. The nearby expansion projects such as the Music City Convention Center and Nissan Stadium are anticipated to provide additional demand that should positively impact the occupancy and average daily rates (ADRs) for these properties. Nevertheless, as these projections are based on pre-stabilization estimates, the actual market response to the increasing room supply will determine the long-term success of this investment. Investors should consider the potential impact of any economic downturn on discretionary travel and convention business when evaluating the long-term growth prospects for Host Hotels & Resorts.
The Nashville International Airport's aggressive expansion, becoming the fastest-growing airport in the U.S. with a 33% increase in passenger traffic over 2019, provides a backdrop of escalating accessibility and connectivity that could boost hotel occupancies in the region. The direct correlation between airport traffic and hotel demand suggests that Host Hotels & Resorts could see significant benefits from this airport expansion. However, the assertion that the airport's growth will directly translate into higher demand for the newly acquired properties presupposes that the increase in visitors will opt for premium lodging options, a premise that may not hold if the uptick in budget travel outpaces the growth of luxury and business travel. The future $1.5 billion airport expansion should be monitored as a key factor in sustaining long-term demand for the higher-end hospitality sector in Nashville.
BETHESDA, Md., May 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (NASDAQ: HST) (the “Company”), the nation’s largest lodging real estate investment trust, today announced that it has acquired the fee simple interest in a two-hotel complex comprising the 215-room 1 Hotel Nashville and the 506-room Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville Downtown (together, the “Property”) for approximately $530 million in cash. The acquisition price represents a 12.6x EBITDA multiple or a cap rate of approximately 7.4% on the Property’s 2024 estimated results1.
The Property is expected to be among Host’s top-25 assets based on estimated full year 2024 results, with expected combined RevPAR of $275, Total RevPAR of $435, and EBITDA per key of $58,5502, further improving the quality of the Company’s portfolio.
James F. Risoleo, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are excited to add the 1 Hotel Nashville and Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville Downtown to our portfolio and establish a presence in one of the country’s most exciting cities. The newly built Property has a prime location in Nashville, a top performing market, which had an impressive RevPAR CAGR of 7.7% from 2000 to 2023, even while absorbing new supply. A major leisure destination, and the #2 ranked convention destination in the United States, Nashville also has a recently expanded airport and a new stadium that is expected to attract more entertainment and sporting events. With meaningful in-place cash flow, multiple demand generators, and no expected near-term capital expenditure requirements, we expect the Property will generate outsized growth as it stabilizes, enhancing the quality of our portfolio and driving additional value creation for our stockholders.”
The newly built, LEED Silver® Property opened in 2022 and is located two blocks from numerous live music and entertainment venues in Nashville’s famed Lower Broadway entertainment district. The Property stands directly across from the Music City Convention Center (the “MCCC”), adjacent to the Bridgestone arena, home of the NHL Nashville Predators, and within a 10-minute drive of Nissan Stadium, the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum, Vanderbilt University, Tennessee State University and Centennial Park. The MCCC has continued to set record attendance numbers by attracting larger events, and it has promising definite bookings in future years. The new Nissan Stadium, home of the NFL Tennessee Titans, is also expected to generate increased demand as the stadium’s dome will allow for year-round activation beginning with the 2027 season. In addition, the Nashville International Airport is the fastest growing airport in the United States with current passenger traffic 33% above 2019. The recent $1.5 billion airport expansion added six international gates and eight satellite gates, and another $1.5 billion expansion is already underway, with completion expected in 2028.
The Property has a combined 721 oversized rooms that average approximately 500 square feet with a 75% suite mix. It offers seven separate food & beverage outlets, including Harriet’s Rooftop, which provides guests with exclusive views of Music City’s skyline in an elevated nightlife setting. Among other amenities, the Property has a Bamford Wellness spa with six treatment rooms, two fitness centers, a yoga studio, and 33,000 square feet of shared meeting space, including a 9,400 square foot ballroom and 9,300 square feet of pre-function space.
Supply growth is expected to continue in Nashville with most projects in the planning stages and in the select service chain scale. Host believes the Property is differentiated from the future supply as a result of its central location and diversified product offerings that provide distinct value propositions to customers. The Company expects the Property to stabilize between approximately 10-12x EBITDA3 in the 2026-2028 timeframe.

1 Consistent with industry practice, Host calculates the EBITDA multiple as the ratio of the purchase price to the property’s EBITDA and the capitalization rate as the ratio of property’s net operating income to its purchase price. EBITDA and net operating income are non-GAAP measures. The comparable GAAP metric to EBITDA multiple is the ratio of the purchase price to net income. The ratio of the purchase price to 2024 net income is 23x based on expected net income of $23 million. The comparable GAAP metric to capitalization rate utilizing 2024 estimated net income is the ratio of net income to the purchase price, which is 4.4%. The difference between estimated 2024 net income and EBITDA is depreciation expense of $19 million. The difference between EBITDA and net operating income is $3 million for the annual contractual reserve requirements for renewal and replacement expenditures for 2024.
2 The comparable GAAP metric to EBITDA per key is net income per key, which is $32,500 based on 2024 forecast net income of $23 million.
3 The ratio of the purchase price to stabilized net income is 19x based on forecast stabilized net income of $28 million. The difference between stabilized net income and EBITDA is depreciation expense of $19 million. Stabilized results are illustrative only. Our ability to achieve the 2026-2028 stabilized results is subject to various uncertainties and actual results may be materially different.
