What the public record allows

Harbor attaches a desk when a press release or public pattern names the firm — not an unpublished book. Missing prices stay missing. Linked houses open a labeled estimate.

Four Seasons Orlando + Four Seasons Jackson Hole — Host disposition

Other U.S. markets · 569 keys · Luxury

Consideration

$1.10B

$1.9M / key

Host IR: $1.1 billion for the 444-room Four Seasons Orlando and 125-room Four Seasons Jackson Hole. Portfolio tape. Harbor does not split the two houses. Excludes the Orlando condo development.

Host Hotels & Resorts IR, February 18, 2026

Host sold both resorts for $1.1 billion. Combined 569 keys. Host’s IRR table names the prior $610 million / $315 million purchases and $1.1 billion of sale proceeds — it does not allocate the exit. Trade-press $750 million / $315 million sale splits are not Host’s number; Harbor will not repeat them as fact. Host did not name the buyer; Orange County deed and trade press name BDT & MSD affiliates. Do not use the blended $1.93M/key as a single-house Orlando or Jackson Hole comp.

Hire · not a brochure

Process before the compliment

Match the desk to the species of hotel. A trophy and a Hampton do not share a banker. Harbor will not invent a producer, a cell, or a league table. This folio is process help, not a cold list.

I · Source

Attach from a public page

A desk appears when a press release, 8-K, or firm page names the house. Harbor will not invent a producer to fill a row.

II · Practice desk

Firm when the roster is not ours

CBRE Hotels Americas and HWE Atlanta stand in when Harbor will not publish a private cell. Deal credit still needs a source.

III · Finding

A quiet year is a finding

Years with no attached tape stay blank. That is not a void to fill with a league table.

IV · Comps

Name the comparable set first

Segment, keys, region, affiliation. If they cannot say which tapes have public prices, they are selling atmosphere.

V · Conflict

Ask the conflict sentence

Who else do they represent on this asset or this buyer? Undisclosed dual agency is how you pay twice.

VI · Engagement

Read it as a contract

Tail, protection list, co-broker, marketing spend, and whether they can be the buyer. A handshake is not a hire.
