ATLANTA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 The hotel brokers at Hunter Hotel Advisors just played matchmaker for a prime piece of Athens, Georgia real estate. They\u2019ve successfully handed over the keys to the 190-room Hyatt Place Athens Downtown. The sale was a team effort, brokered by Hunter\u2019s own Tim Osborne.<\/p>\n The new owner, a local investor with excellent taste in college towns, has already tapped Pyramid Global Hospitality to run the show. We\u2019re sure they\u2019ll keep the coffee hot and the beds made.<\/p>\n So, what\u2019s the big deal about this hotel? Well, imagine a location so good it practically sells itself:<\/p>\n It\u2019s Convention Central:<\/strong>\u00a0Attached to The Classic Center, which hosts a dizzying 650+ events a year. (That\u2019s a lot of name tags.)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n It\u2019s a Sports Fan\u2019s Dream:<\/strong>\u00a0Steps from the hallowed grounds of the University of Georgia and the 93,000-strong roar of Sanford Stadium. Go Dawgs!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n It\u2019s the Party Spot:<\/strong>\u00a0Home to one of Athens’ only rooftop bars (the HyBar), meaning guests can enjoy a drink without having to shout “GOOOOO DAWGS!” over the crowd. (But they probably still will.)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \u201cAs a proud UGA alum, working on this deal was a privilege,\u201d said Tim Osborne, Hunter\u2019s SVP and resident Athens expert. \u201cThis place is ground zero for football fans, convention-goers, and now, with the new Akins Ford Arena next door, for anyone who likes their concerts with a side of state-of-the-art.\u201d<\/p>\n In short, the new owner didn\u2019t just buy a hotel; they bought the best spot in town to catch a game, a concert, a convention, and a rooftop cocktail.<\/p>\n About Hunter Hotel Advisors:<\/strong><\/p>\n For over 45 years, Hunter Hotel Advisors has been the nation\u2019s go-to guru for all things hotel real estate.
