According to Summit, the aggregate purchase price represents a 12.1x multiple on the hotels' combined trailing twelve-month EBITDA as of September this year, and the portfolio achieved RevPAR of $124 during that same period.
Summit Hotel Properties chairman, president and chief executive officer Daniel Hansen said: "We are thrilled with the opportunity to acquire this portfolio of four exceptionally well-located hotels where we see considerable long-term value.
"All four hotels are located in strong markets, three of which are new for Summit and further enhance our geographic diversification. The properties are clear market leaders as the portfolio achieved an average RevPAR index of 122.3 for the twelve-month period ended September 2017.
"The off-market transaction will bring our year-to-date acquisition activity to nearly $600m as we continue to grow our portfolio with a prudent capital allocation strategy focused on acquiring premium-branded upscale hotels with efficient operating models while maintaining a geographically diversified portfolio."
