$2 Billion Cash Offer to Acquire 93-Hotel Portfolio in the US

TKO submitted a formal written offer of $2 billion in cash on October 9, 2026, to acquire the entire hospitality portfolio of Nasdaq-listed Service Properties Trust, according to GuruFocus.

The portfolio includes 93 hotels and more than 21,000 rooms, according to data as of June 30, 2026. The size of the portfolio indicates that the deal targets existing operational assets rather than a new project.

The price for the hotels alone exceeds the company's market capitalization of approximately $817 million, meaning the value of the assets offered in the deal is greater than the total market value of the company.

The platform stated that completing the deal would allow the real estate investment trust to pay off more than 40% of its debt, a step subject to board approval. This development is significant for real estate and hotel investors, as it sets a benchmark price for hotel assets and reflects investor appetite for the sector.

**Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT):** A company or trust that owns income-generating real estate and distributes a large portion of its profits to investors, and is usually publicly traded.

**Cash Offer:** An offer to purchase a company or assets paid entirely in cash instead of stock or a combination of both, typically providing immediate liquidity to the seller.
