DALLAS, Feb. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc. (NYSE: BHR) ("Braemar" or the "Company") today announced that it has successfully refinanced its mortgage loan for the 190-room Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa in Beaver Creek, Colorado which had a final maturity date in April 2022. The financing addressed the Company's only final debt maturity in 2022.

The new, non-recourse loan totals $70.5 million and has a two-year initial term with three one-year extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The loan is interest only and provides for a floating interest rate of SOFR + 2.86%.

"The debt capital markets for well-located, performing lodging assets are attractive and appear to have recovered back to previous levels. We are very pleased to be able to refinance this loan at approximately the same interest rate as our previous loan," said Richard J. Stockton, Braemar's President and Chief Executive Officer.

Robert Douglas, a real estate advisory firm that specializes in providing capital solutions in the hospitality industry, assisted Braemar with this transaction.
