Trinity Investments Receives 2023 Deal of the Year Award at ALIS

Acquisition of The Diplomat wins Transaction of the Year for deals over $25 million

Trinity Investments, a leading investor in U.S. hospitality, announced today that a Trinity-led joint venture received the 2023 Transaction of the Year Award for deals over $25 million at the 2024 Americas Lodging Investment Summit (ALIS), one of the region’s largest hotel conferences, for its acquisition of The Diplomat Beach Resort (“The Diplomat”) in Hollywood, FL. The $835 million acquisition of the 1,000-room hotel was the third largest single-asset hotel sale ever in the United States and highlights Trinity’s proven investment approach and growing presence in the hospitality sector. The transaction closed in February 2023.

“Our acquisition of The Diplomat is representative of Trinity’s ability to invest in high-quality assets at any point in the market cycle, and I’m exceedingly proud of the track record and momentum we’ve built over the past several years,” said Sean Hehir, Managing Partner, President, and CEO of Trinity. “The Diplomat is a prime example of the type of investments we seek to make and is testament to our growing presence as a leading hospitality investor.”

In October 2023, Trinity announced the opening of its London office under Managing Partner Ryan Donn. The global expansion followed an active year for Trinity, which, in addition to acquiring The Diplomat, secured approximately $1.2 billion in combined refinancings for its existing portfolio assets.
