Large-cap real estate investment bank. Hotel work is typically trophy or portfolio, named in the financial press when it is public.

Harbor attaches a desk when a press release or public pattern names the firm — not an unpublished book.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.

KSL public materials / trade press
KSL is a frequent resort sponsor. Individual mountain-hotel prices are usually private. Harbor records the pattern, not a guessed PPK.
Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort · 444 keys · Luxury
Consideration
$610.0M
$1.4M / key
Host IR: $610 million for the 444-room Four Seasons Resort Orlando. Host’s own 2021 purchase — not an allocated slice of the 2026 sale.
Host Hotels & Resorts IR, February 18, 2026 (recites May 4, 2021 purchase of $610 million)
Host’s February 2026 IR states it purchased the 444-room Four Seasons Resort Orlando on May 4, 2021 for $610 million. That is Host naming its own buy, not a later allocated sale price. Disney-property luxury — not an International Drive convention box. The 2026 exit with Jackson Hole is a separate $1.1 billion combined tape; Harbor does not split it.
Hire · not a brochure
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
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
CBRE Hotels Americas and HWE Atlanta stand in when Harbor will not publish a private cell. Deal credit still needs a source.
III · Finding
Years with no attached tape stay blank. That is not a void to fill with a league table.
IV · Comps
Segment, keys, region, affiliation. If they cannot say which tapes have public prices, they are selling atmosphere.
V · Conflict
Who else do they represent on this asset or this buyer? Undisclosed dual agency is how you pay twice.
VI · Engagement
Tail, protection list, co-broker, marketing spend, and whether they can be the buyer. A handshake is not a hire.
