The Californer/10225458

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Californer -- Sonnenblick-Eichner Company, on behalf of Woodside Hotel Group, has arranged $26,75 million of non-cross collateralized, fixed-rate, first mortgage financing for the Lafayette Park Hotel & Spa and The Lodge at Bodega Bay, located in Lafayette and Bodega Bay, CA respectively.

The $15 million loan on the Lafayette Park Hotel retired an existing life insurance company loan and provided for more than $4 million of capital to renovate the guestrooms.

Proceeds from the $11.75 million loan on The Lodge at Bodega Bay paid off an existing bridge loan facility and provided for a return of partnership equity.

Both long-term 10-year fixed-rate loans are non-recourse and were funded by a life insurance company.

Located on the "Highway 24" corridor in San Francisco's East Bay suburb of Lafayette, the Lafayette Park Hotel & Spa is a full-service hotel offering 138 guestrooms.  The city of Lafayette is considered the urban hub of the region, with more than 14 million square feet of commercial office space located within seven miles of the property.

The properties are both members of the Woodside Collection (www.woodsidecollection.com) and are owned and operated by Woodside Hotel Group, Ltd., a second-generation family company that has established itself as a preeminent owner/operator of distinguished, independent hotels, restaurants and spas in northern California.

"We had tremendous interest in this financing opportunity from both Life Companies and CMBS lenders," said Sonnenblick-Eichner Senior Managing Director, Todd Bedingfield.  "Our client ultimately decided on a Life Company execution primarily due to the ability to lock rate at application."
