DSH Hotel Advisors Facilitates Major Hotel Transaction in Orlando
In a significant transaction within the Orlando hospitality market, DSH Hotel Advisors announced the successful sale of the
74-room Red Roof Inn Orlando South for $5.65 million on December 10, 2025. This deal underscores DSH Hotel Advisors' status as a leading hotel brokerage firm specialized in hotel investment sales, based in Tampa, Florida.
Strategic Location and Market Interest
The Red Roof Inn is strategically located off the bustling
Orange Blossom Trail, just a mile from the
Florida Mall, a key shopping destination in Orlando. This property benefits from convenient access to Interstate 4 and SR-528, positioning it favorably in one of the world's most prominent tourism markets. The sale attracted significant interest from investors nationwide, with DSH facilitating a competitive process that garnered over 150 signed confidentiality agreements from qualified buyers. Multiple offers were received, showcasing the high demand for hotel investment opportunities in this region.
High Demand and Competitive Offers
According to
Dennis S. Hopper, CCIM, Managing Principal at DSH Hotel Advisors, the sale represented a remarkable opportunity for buyers in the Orlando market. He emphasized the competitive nature of the process, which ultimately revealed a buyer from California who recognized the property's potential for long-term success.
Randy B. Taylor, Senior Vice President of Investments at DSH, elaborated on how they aligned closely with the seller's goals while identifying a lucrative asset for their West Coast investor. The combination of Central Florida's tourism and growth factors continues to drive interest, making it an appealing market for hotel investments.
A Property with Prominent Features
The Red Roof Inn Orlando South is well-maintained and features a two-story structure housing 74 guest rooms. The hotel's recent renovations and its position amid substantial demand creators, including nearby theme parks and Universal’s newest attraction, the
$1 billion Epic Universe, make it a prime investment. With Orlando's continuous growth and expansion, particularly fueled by its rich array of tourist attractions, the property is poised for ongoing success.
In addition, the Red Roof Inn has recently been recognized as the
No. 1 Best Budget-Friendly Hotel Brand according to USA TODAY's 10 Best Readers' Choice Awards in 2025. This accolade highlights the brand’s value perception among guests, which adds to the property's attractiveness.
