"We're pleased to strengthen our relationship with the Hilton Hotels & Resorts family of brands with this acquisition," added Arbor Lodging Partners principal Sheenal Patel, also CEO of NVN Hotels. "Hilton's global brand recognition, commitment to excellent service, and innovative hospitality practices make their hotels a great fit for our investment strategy."
