Each month, HotelHinge pulls the hotel trades that have hit the U.S. public record, sets them against the census, and adds the deals the trade press reported but the deed record has not yet caught. Recorded figures come from county and municipal deed and assessor records, linked so you can verify them; reported figures are attributed to the outlet that carried them. The record accrues: deeds record with a lag, so a month keeps filling in after it closes, and this report is refreshed as trades appear.

The month's biggest story: Sapir sells the NoMo SoHo out of bankruptcy for $121M

February's largest single-asset hotel trade in our data was the NoMo SoHo in Manhattan, sold by the Sapir Organization for $121 million. It is a reported sale with a recorded price, so it also leads the priced table below; here is what the record shows, each step sourced.

The transaction closed out of a Chapter 11 process the property entered in November 2025. An October 2025 agreement had set the price at $125 million; the figure that recorded at closing was $121 million, a $4 million reduction. (Source: Commercial Observer)

Every February 2026 hotel trade in one table

Every priced hotel trade the public record and the trade press surfaced for February, in one table, sorted by price. Recorded rows are deed or assessor filings, each identified by its recording office and public record number; reported rows are arm's-length sales the trade press covered that had not yet filed a February deed in our markets, each linked to the article that reported it. Recording lags the closing and some trades are structured at the entity level and never file a property deed, so the recorded set is only part of the month's activity. Named deals with no disclosed price are listed separately under Through the Grapevine.

Recorded rows are county deed or assessor filings, each identified by its recording office and public record number; the parties are shown only where the county publishes them (many counties do not), never guessed. Reported rows are trades the trade press covered that had not yet filed a deed for the month, each linked to the article that reported it.

February's largest deals, in brief

The month's biggest transactions, each drawn from that deal's own sources.

• NoMo SoHo · New York, NY$121M
  The Sapir Organization sold the NoMo SoHo hotel on Crosby Street to Dan Hotels' Shlomo Tahan for $121 million, recorded February 18 out of a Chapter 11 process the hotel entered in late 2025.
• Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World · Bay Lake, FLpart of a $1.1B, 2-asset deal
  Host Hotels & Resorts sold the Four Seasons Resort Orlando together with the Four Seasons Jackson Hole for a combined $1.1 billion; Host did not break out a per-hotel price, so no figure is shown on the Orlando resort here (it is listed, unpriced, under Through the Grapevine).

  Northshore Development bought the 291-room Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center in downtown Baton Rouge for $40.5 million.

Through the Grapevine

Unpriced transactions

Named ownership changes the trade press reported in February with no disclosed price. These are not in the priced table above and carry no dollar figure; each is a named buyer or seller confirmed to a linked source.

A grapevine entry is a named acquisition the trade press carried without a disclosed price. HotelHinge lists it, unpriced, so the record is complete; no figure is shown or implied, and no grapevine deal is counted in the month's dollar totals above.

What the deed record caught that the trade press didn't

Most of February's recorded deed sales never surfaced in the hotel trade-press screen. The $37.4 million Renaissance Reno, the $32.1 million Home2 Suites in Tampa, the $30.1 million Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront, the $20.8 million Four Points by Sheraton at the Fort Myers airport, and the $11.3 million Staybridge Suites in Durham each appears in this report because it was recorded in a county deed or assessor record. That long tail of hotel trades, below the deal sheets, is what a property-by-property census is built to catch.

Where this sits in the U.S. hotel map

The month's trades are a live slice of a bigger picture: the HotelHinge census tracks 45,438 U.S. hotels across 51 markets, each with public-record ownership, sales, and financing attached to the property.
