Highgate has announced the company’s launch into South America by taking over management of a portfolio of six hotels in Peru, owned by Urbanova—a real estate group in the country. The deal expands Highgate’s portfolio in the Caribbean and Latin America (CALA) to a total of 26 hotels and resorts.
The Peru portfolio is comprised of Marriott-branded properties. They include Palacio del Inka Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel in Cusco; Tambo del Inka, a Luxury Collection Resort in Urubamba; Hotel Paracas, a Luxury Collection Resort; Aloft Lima Miraflores; AC Hotel Lima Miraflores and the Westin Lima Hotel & Convention Center.
These properties join Highgate’s current CALA portfolio, which includes a diverse collection of hotels and resorts including: The Ocean Club, a Luxury Collection Resort in Costa Norte, Dominican Republic; AC San Juan; Aloft Tulum in Mexico; Acoya Curaçao Resort, the BRIX, an Autograph Collection hotel in Port of Spain, Trinidad and the ROK hotel, a Tapestry Collection hotel in Kingston, Jamaica. Earlier this year, Highgate also announced that it had acquired and assumed management of the Embassy Suites by Hilton San Juan Hotel & Casino.
To oversee the CALA portfolio, which spans 13 plus countries including Aruba, Belize, Curacao, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, St. Lucia, Trinidad and Turks and Caicos, Highgate appointed Marco A. Selva, who recently joined as senior vice president of luxury and lifestyle operations.
