Sonnenblick-Eichner Arranges $26.7M Refinancing for Two Northern California Hotels
Located in Bodega Bay, Calif., The Lodge at Bodega Bay features 83 guest rooms, Drakes Sonoma Coast restaurant, Fireside Lounge and Sonoma Coast Spa and Fitness Center.
LAFAYETTE AND BODEGA BAY, CALIF. — Sonnenblick-Eichner Co. has arranged $26.7 million in non-cross collateralized, fixed-rate, first-mortgage financing for Woodside Hotel Group. The transaction will refinance debt on two hotels — Lafayette Park Hotel & Spa and The Lodge at Bodega Bay — in Northern California.
The $15 million loan on Lafayette Park Hotel retired an existing life insurance company loan and provided for more than $4 million of capital to renovate guest rooms. The proceeds from the $11.7 million loan for The Lodge at Bodega Bay paid off an existing bridge loan facility and provided for a return of partnership equity. A life insurance company provided both of the long-term, 10-year, fixed-rate, nonrecourse loans.
Located in Lafayette, Lafayette Park Hotel & Spa is a full-service hotel with 138 guest rooms. The Lodge at Bodega Bay in Bodega Bay features 83 guest rooms; Drakes Sonoma Coast, a fine dining restaurant; Fireside Lounge, a 6,285-square-foot indoor and outdoor meeting space; and Sonoma Coast Spa and Fitness Center.
Woodside Hotel Group owns and operates both properties as part of the Woodside Collection.
