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Harbor attaches a desk when a press release or public pattern names the firm — not an unpublished book.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 Jackson Hole — Host Hotels acquisition

Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole · 125 keys · Luxury

Consideration

$315.0M

$2.5M / key

Host IR: $315 million for the 125-room Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole. Host’s own 2022 purchase — not an allocated slice of the 2026 sale.

Host Hotels & Resorts IR, February 18, 2026 (recites November 1, 2022 purchase of $315 million)

Host’s February 2026 IR states it purchased the 125-room Four Seasons Jackson Hole on November 1, 2022 for $315 million. Host naming its own buy. Mountain luxury — not an Amangani 40-key boundary. The 2026 exit with Orlando is a separate $1.1 billion combined tape; Harbor does not split it.

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.
