U.S. Hotel Transactions, July 2026: What the Public Record Shows
Download the PDF A branded one-pager, sourced identically. Best for sharing.
Quick answer: As of publication, the U.S. public record shows no verified hotel sale recorded for July 2026 yet. Deeds record with a lag, so this free monthly report updates as the sales appear, but the trade press already reported $52.4M+ across 2 larger U.S. hotel trades for the month, listed below. Everything is set against the 46,101-hotel HotelHinge census.
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 largest priced trade: the Islands of Islamorada
July's disclosed dollar volume was modest by recent standards, and the largest priced trade the public record and the trade press could confirm was a Florida Keys resort that sold for close to half what it fetched two years ago. It is a useful marker of where luxury-resort pricing has landed.
Mast Capital and Koch Real Estate Investments acquired the Islands of Islamorada, a seven-acre oceanfront resort in the Florida Keys, from the Frisbie Group. The Real Deal reported the price at $38 million. (Sources: The Real Deal, Hotel Online)
The resort comprises 22 waterfront villas and eight hotel suites at 82779 Old Highway on Upper Matecumbe Key; the buyers said they plan to relaunch sales of the villas. Monroe County records reflect the sale and a $40 million acquisition mortgage. (Sources: Keys News, Lodging Magazine)
The property last traded for $72 million in 2024, so July's sale came in near half that figure, a concrete data point on how much luxury-resort pricing has reset in the interim. (Sources: The Real Deal, Keys News)
Every July 2026 hotel trade in one table
Every priced hotel trade the public record and the trade press surfaced for July, in one table, sorted by price. Recorded rows are deed or assessor filings; no July deed sale had filed inside the census markets at render time, which is normal because recording lags the closing (many trades are also structured at the entity level and never file a property deed). Reported rows are arm's-length single-asset sales the trade press covered, each linked to the article that reported it. Named deals with no disclosed price are listed separately under Through the Grapevine.

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.

Frequently asked questions
How many U.S. hotels traded in July 2026?
As of publication no verified, sourced hotel sale had yet been recorded for July 2026; the public record accrues as county deeds record.
Where does HotelHinge get hotel transaction data?
From the public record: county and municipal deed and assessor sales files, each sale linked back to its source. HotelHinge assembles it property by property across a 46,101-hotel census of U.S. hotels.
Were there no U.S. hotel sales in July 2026?
No, 0 sales were recorded in the HotelHinge census for July 2026 because the census screens deed and assessor filings and recording lags the closing. The trade press reported additional large hotel trades that had not yet filed as a deed for the month; this report lists them in the same table, tagged reported, separate from the recorded deals.
What is the difference between a recorded and a reported deal?
A recorded deal has a deed or assessor filing in the public record, which HotelHinge links to its source. A reported deal has been covered in the trade press but has not yet filed a deed, whether because recording lags, the trade was structured at the entity level, or the filing is still catching up.

How this is built, and whose data it is. HotelHinge is a proprietary compilation. We build it only from public records - principally county and municipal deed and assessor filings - and from other lawfully accessible public sources, and our value is in the original selection, matching, and arrangement of those facts into a property-level record that no single source provides. The underlying facts are public; the compilation, its structure, and this report are our own work. We do not copy or republish any third party's proprietary database, and we reproduce no third party's copyrighted text.
Recorded versus reported. Figures labeled RECORDED are drawn from the public deed or assessor record and identified by the recording office and its public record number. Figures labeled REPORTED are accounts published by named third-party news outlets, cited and linked; we summarize their factual reporting in our own words and have not independently verified those figures. The public record also accrues on a lag: deeds can take weeks or months to record after a closing, some transactions are structured at the entity level and never file a property deed, and public records can contain errors or omissions. A month's figures are therefore provisional and are updated as records appear.
