Holliday Fenoglio Fowler L.P. arranged a $50 million refinancing for Houston’s luxurious Zaza Hotel. Working on behalf of the owners, HFF secured a 10-year, fixed-rate loan through Goldman Sachs Commercial Mortgage Capital L.P.

Located in Houston’s Museum District, at 5701 Main St., the 315-room luxury hotel is adjacent to the renowned Texas Medical Center and Rice University; built in 1925, the property served many years as the Warwick Hotel, until its reopening as the Zaza in 2007 after undergoing substantial renovations. The Zaza Hotel has 241 guest suites, 51 villas and suites, 10 concept suites and eight “Magnificent Seven” ultra-luxury suites. Hotel amenities include ZaSpa, a pool with private cabanas and full-service bar and grill, and the Monarch Restaurant. For its business travelers, the hotel accommodated 21,000 square feet for meeting space, while also providing WiFi for the entire property and a dedicated business center on the second floor equipped with desktop computers, printer, fax, copier and extra work space.

The HFF team representing the borrower was led by senior managing director Mark West, director John Bourret and associate director Colby Mueck.
