By GlobalDataARC Hospitality chief financial officer Edward Hoganson said: "These ten hotels have all delivered robust year over year financial performance and possess strong operating fundamentals that we expect will continue to drive our future growth.
"Management of these properties will be divided amongst our affiliated hotel operator, Crestline Hotels & Resorts and Interstate Hotels & Resorts, which currently operates several of the hotels we are acquiring from Summit."
The acquisition is supported by a $450m term loan facility that was co-arranged by Deutsche Bank and BMO Capital Markets.

Under the deal, ARC Hospitality will acquire 12 premium branded select-service and extended stay hotels, as well as one full-service hotel, totalling 1,913 rooms, in nine US states.
