Carey Watermark Buys Stoneleigh/Le Meridien
Carey Watermark Investors acquired the historic Stoneleigh Hotel in Dallas, the first purchase for the company in the Lone Star State.
The 176-room Art Deco landmark has bounced around in recent years, reports the Dallas Morning News, and currently is under the aegis of Starwood Hotels & Resort’s Le Meridien brand. Le Meridien has been busy in the last quarter of 2015, breaking ground on a luxury Denver development and completing a renovation in New Orleans.
The iconic hotel was built in 1923. It got a $36M facelift in '08, but Carey Watermark plans to pour $4M into The Stoneleigh with freshened guestrooms, updated corridors, additional outdoor event space and a swimming pool. [DMN]
