Chicago, IL (PRWEB) March 16, 2015 -- Arbor Lodging Partners (“Arbor”), a leading fully-integrated owner and operator of hotels, announced today that, through an affiliate, it has acquired the Holiday Inn Express & Suites New Orleans Airport for an undisclosed price. NVN Hotels, an affiliate of Arbor, has assumed management of the hotel.
The hotel sits at the entrance of James Business Park, a Class A, 200-acre Business Park with more than 2 million square feet of commercial space.

Further, the hotel is just a short drive away from numerous New Orleans attractions including the French Quarter, the Central Business District, the Superdome, and Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. The hotel features 134 newly-appointed guestrooms, dedicated meeting space, and the popular VooDoo BBQ & Grill.

"The Holiday Inn Express & Suites New Orleans Airport is well-situated to take advantage of the robust business demand in the immediate area, as well as demand generated by the rapidly-growing airport. We look forward to implementing our best practices and further enhancing the property," added Sheenal Patel, the other Managing Principal of Arbor.
In addition to twenty first-mortgage loans recently acquired by Arbor, the acquisition marks the sixth hotel acquired by the firm in the last five months. “We are fortunate to be experiencing tremendous growth and are looking to expand our investment platform even further with both cash-flowing and value-add opportunities,” stated Bonthala.
