New
York, NY – December 2023 / NewsmakerAlert: LuxUrban
Hotels Inc. (“LuxUrban” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LUXH), which utilizes
an asset-light business model to lease entire hotels on a long-term basis
and rent out hotel rooms in these properties in key major metropolitan
cities, announces that it has signed separate 25-year Master Lease Agreements
(MLA), inclusive of two five-year options, to operate two new boutique
hotels in New York City: The Royalton Hotel and the Truss Hotel. These
properties will be re-branded as “The Royalton by LuxUrban” and “The Truss
Hotel by LuxUrban” and are expected to begin welcoming guests early this
month. LuxUrban expects both of these properties to be rebranded under
the Trademark Collection® by Wyndham name over the next few months.
Royalton
Hotel
Recently
named one of “Best Hotels Near Times Square” by TimeOut New York, The
Royalton by LuxUrban is a 168-room boutique property “Where Good Taste
Never Gets Old.” The lobby’s mahogany walls and cognac leather couches
evoke a sense of timelessness and historical glamour, while spacious rooms,
luxurious suites and penthouse accommodations are comfortably sleek and
elegantly outfitted. The Royalton by LuxUrban provides easy access to New
York’s Theater District, Grand Central Station, Rockefeller Center, and
the shops of Fifth Avenue.
Location:
44 West 44th Street, New York City.
Truss
Hotel
With
a modern, sleek, and upscale feel, the 86-room Truss
Hotel by LuxUrban offers a prime location just a short walk from Times
Square, two blocks from the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, and within
walking distance of Fifth Avenue, Broadway, and Madison Square Garden.
The hotel features a Rooftop Garden Terrace with panoramic, spectacular
views of Hudson Yards, with guest rooms and spacious suites that offer
the ultimate blend of style, comfort, and luxury.
Location:
515 9th Avenue, New York City.
“These
newest hotels add density to our primary market of New York City and increase
our portfolio of properties that will be integrated into the LuxUrban operating
platform,” said Brian Ferdinand,
Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of LuxUrban Hotels. “We are continuing
to manage a robust opportunity pipeline and expect to consummate several
additional MLAs in the near term.”
Robust
Pipeline Opportunity
In
addition to these two new properties, the Company has executed Letters
of Intent (LOI) and is in the final stages of negotiation to sign MLAs
for hotels comprising more than 1,500 rooms. The Company expects that the
majority of these property transactions will close in December 2023 through
early 2024, with the associated hotels expected to begin welcoming guests
in that same time frame.
The
Company continues to expect to have approximately 6,000 hotel rooms under
MLA by June 30, 2024 that are currently secured under LOI and are expected
to convert to MLAs beyond those referenced above.

About
LuxUrban Hotels Inc.
LuxUrban
Hotels Inc. utilizes an asset light business model to lease entire
hotels on a long-term basis and rent out hotel rooms in the properties
it leases to business and vacation travelers through the Company’s online
portal and third-party sales and distribution channels. The Company currently
manages a portfolio of hotel rooms in New York, Washington D.C., Miami
Beach, New Orleans and Los Angeles. As of November 30, 2023 the Company
had 2,032 hotel rooms under lease, including properties not yet available
for rent, and seeks to rapidly build its portfolio on favorable economics
through the acquisition of additional accommodations that were dislocated
or are underutilized as a result of the pandemic and current economic conditions.
In late 2021, the Company commenced the process of winding down its legacy
business of leasing and re-leasing multifamily residential units, as it
pivoted toward its new strategy of leasing hotels. This transition has
been substantially completed. Visit www.LuxUrbanHotels.com
