CBRE Hotels, as the sole and exclusive agent for the owner, is pleased to offer the opportunity to acquire the Aviator Hotel & Suites in St. Louis, Missouri. The 149-room, aviation-themed hotel is just a short drive from Downtown St. Louis and all its premier leisure and corporate demand generators. The non-union, fee simple hotel is being offered free and clear of existing management and brand, affording new ownership maximum optionality in the future operation and capitalization of the hotel, with multiple rebranding options.

Discover the attractive, recently upgraded features that separate the Aviator Hotel & Suites from area competitors. Converted from a Holiday Inn in 2021, the concrete-construction property is in excellent condition and serves as a primary wedding venue in the market with 10,000 square feet of event space, including a 4,400-square-foot ballroom. Additionally, the new Flight Deck Pub offers food and beverage services for guests, wedding parties, and outside clientele. Further enhancing guest appeal, the property is equipped with abundant on-site parking, a fitness center, and a relaxing indoor pool. The property recently received a major $2.4 million (over $15,000 per key) capital infusion to transform the asset's public spaces, including the lobby, meeting spaces, and the restaurant. This renovation, completed in March 2021, ensures the hotel is in excellent condition and ready to capitalize on market demand.

Since the asset is available fee simple and unencumbered of existing management, the Aviator Hotel & Suites allows a new owner to increase existing operating efficiencies and to tap into alternative branding opportunities. The current owner has received a license to brand the Aviator as a DoubleTree by Hilton. Converting to a DoubleTree by Hilton is a strategic move that aligns the property with a globally recognized upscale brand. DoubleTree by Hilton is celebrated for its warm welcome, famously offering a chocolate chip cookie upon arrival, and focuses on creating comfortable, inviting spaces for both business and leisure travelers. This brand caters to a broad demographic seeking quality amenities and reliable service. Under its Hilton Worldwide Holdings affiliation, the property would have a competitive advantage for attracting a diverse set of patrons. The Hilton Worldwide portfolio includes 20 leading hotel brands comprising more than 7,500 hotels with more than 1.2 million hotel rooms in 126 countries and territories. This network provides each individual hotel with a dynamic global distribution system.

The Aviator Hotel & Suites benefits from a prime location at the confluence of Interstates 55, 255, and 270, offering excellent visibility and convenient access to the entire metropolitan area. This strategic positioning also puts the hotel within a short distance of key demand drivers like the South County Center Mall, the Jefferson Barracks Military Post, and the Missouri Civil War Museum, with additional connections to Downtown St. Louis and the Gateway Arch in just 15 to 20 minutes. The Aviator Hotel & Suites is also one of the closest hotels to the 676-bed Mercy Hospital South and the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, providing a massive built-in audience of patients and visiting families.

The St. Louis hotel market is experiencing a peak in revenue per available room (RevPAR), driven by robust average daily rate (ADR) growth. This positive trend indicates a strong recovery and growth potential for the Aviator Hotel & Suites. Over the past 12 months, the surrounding hospitality submarket has experienced a 5.6% increase in occupancy and a 5.9% rise in overall RevPAR. The subject property recently achieved a RevPAR of $82, positioning it competitively among Upper Midscale and Upscale properties in the area.
