78-Room Dutch Side Hotel Bought by US Company

A 78-room Dutch Side hotel has been bought by a US company. What resorts on the Dutch Side are 78 rooms? Immediately thought of Alegria, but I thought Alegria was bigger... and this appears to have just happened, from what I've learned so far.

I don't know how many rooms they have there, but think it is more also. And isn't Alegria already owned by a US company? What about Sonesta Great Bay? Just a wild a$$ guess. There really aren't a lot of traditional 'hotels' on the Dutch side and most are much smaller than 78 rooms. What about Sapphire, although it's not a hotel either.

But, just asking, if someone told you that such a sale took place, why didn't they tell you which hotel?

Great Bay has 250+ rooms. Maybe a P'burg hotel?

J&B

Holland House has 55 rooms so, rule that out.

OK, I had no idea Great Bay had that many rooms. Again, Sea Palace is not just a hotel per se, but what about Sea Palace?

i think Sapphire has 180+ units..

Yes, I just looked that up. No idea what the answer is.

Here goes the speculation!

The C building of Alegria is about that size, and the Towers is about that size.

Ocean Club was for sale, but I do not think they have that many units but I have no idea of the size of the "Waterview Apartments" portion of the place.

I hope it works out for all regardless of if something was actually sold or where.

Cheers,
Todd

Princess Port de Plaisance has 88 rooms???

Could it be Paasaagrahan?

Belair has 78 rooms and has been for sale.

Belair already owned by NYC company.

it could have been purchased by another U S company.
The current owner was letting it be known they were ready to sell.

Towers at Mullet Bay has 81 rooms

Ocean Club

Alegria bought by Seminoles?

Might as well get that rummer started again. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Maybe it's the two unfinished buildings by Alegria

Expedia lists Alegria as having 78 rooms.

90 rooms @ Atrium . lots of inquires by individuals looking to purchase rooms. For controlling interests?

rummer? not sure what you me... maybe rumor or am I missing something.

I saw that. Didn't "Caravanserai" have a lot more?

Interesting...

It's a looooong story... I've been a reporter pretty much all my life (radio, tv, newspapers, private businesses) and we get stories in a million different ways...

"Looks" smaller, but have not yet found # of rooms. Alegria wouldn't surprise me at all...

Since they never finished the shells, Trip Advisor is probably correct, the 60+ former timeshares in the B & C buildings plus the hotel rooms near the lobby Could be 78.

I heard Manek bought it

Manek and Verdier 50/50

Ocean Club has 25 units in the "Waterview Apartments" building, plus 18 units in the poolside villas (excluding the 2 villas that are privately owned, and excluding the 8 oceanfront villas).

It is very strange that this information would be released without the name of the hotel. It just leads to far too much speculation.

Whatever happened with the story of Hard Rock Hotel moving onto the island?

Originally at the Pelican, as I recall.

Perhaps it's them?????????

gary

They went to Aruba.

SXM??? Wendell

The litigation with regard to the purchase of the former Pelican resolved maybe six months ago, with the court ruling that the transaction was not validly completed. Thus there is still some negotiating--or litigation-- to do, to determine who has valid title to the property. Possibly, once that is actually concluded, the Seminoles might still be interested. Who knows?

From reading another post here in a different thread, it was reported that the Marriot Hotel Group have visited ALEGRIA and are interested in having a large complex developed there. Perhaps that is the 78 room hotel that is under discussion here.

Manek. Growl......

That would be one scary combination. Nightmares!

I still don't know who it is. Bel Air is a possibility too...

Belair has less than 78 rooms(suites)

Jeff,

It is likely to be Alegria as it boasts 78 hotel rooms. http://www.alegriasxm.com/amenities/hotel-amenities.htm

Secondly there is another thread (Alegria and Cruise 360) that a rep for Alegria is boasting about Marriots involvement to create a Residence Inn there.

Marriot does not normally buy hotels but establishes marketing agreements with owners to brand the property and use their reservation system.
