Kans Capital, a Mexican private equity firm, entered a transaction worth over $30 million to acquire a majority stake in two Marriott-branded hotels in Stamford, Connecticut, totaling more than 270 rooms.
“Our investment broadens Kans Capital’s portfolio through cross-border diversification, strengthening our footprint in the United States,” Adriana Sandoval, strategy and investments founding managing partner at Kans Capital, said. “This transaction also reinforces our commitment to creating long-term value through strategic investments.”
Kans Capital will retain Janus Hotels as the operator of these properties.
“We are pleased to continue managing these Marriott-branded hotels and to support Kans Capital’s vision for these assets,” Mike Nanosky, president of Janus Hotels, said.
“Our team remains focused on delivering a high-quality service and operational consistency to ensure an outstanding guest experience,” Todd Lindvall, general manager of both hotels, said.
“With Janus Hotels’ experienced management and Marriott’s reputation, we are well-positioned to enhance the value of these properties while meeting the demand in this established market,” Sandoval said.
