DiamondRock Hospitality Company has completed the sale of the 725-room Lexington Hotel in New York City for $185.3 million.
Including the company’s projected capital expenditures, the sale price represents a 14.2x multiple on 2019 Hotel EBITDA and a 5.4% capitalization rate on 2019 Hotel net operating income, the REIT said.
