Texas (21) and Florida (20) have the most sales, followed by California (10), Illinois (9) and New York (6). See every sale on the Hotel Deal Map.

September, by comparison, had 17 tracked sales and $2.08 billion in disclosed prices, most of it from the $1.38 billion Grande Lakes Orlando sale (JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton).

Hotels for sale: what’s on the market

On Nov. 3, 2026, our Hotels for Sale list held 425 hotels in 47 states, gathered from brokers’ public listings. Texas has by far the most, with 116, followed by California (31), Oklahoma (26), Florida (25) and Colorado (17).

• Asking prices: 292 listings show a price. The median is $4.5 million. 53 ask under $2 million, 102 ask $2 million to $5 million, 91 ask $5 million to $10 million, 39 ask $10 million to $25 million and 7 ask $25 million or more.
• Price per key: the median asking price is about $80,300 per room nationally and about $74,100 in Texas.
• Size: the typical listed hotel has about 70 rooms.
• Auctions: 12 hotels are being offered by auction with a starting bid.

Asking prices per key run well below October’s closed sales. That mostly reflects the mix: the hotels brokers list publicly tend to be smaller economy and midscale properties, while the sales that get announced with a price tend to be larger, upscale hotels. It is not a like-for-like discount.

How we count

The index includes only U.S. hotel sales announced in public sources (company and broker press releases, SEC filings and trade and local press), each linked to its source in the tracker. Price totals leave out estimated, unconfirmed or conflicting prices. Our coverage widened during October, so the jump from September’s count partly reflects more complete tracking rather than a market surge. Listing figures come from brokers’ public listings, are not verified by The Hotelier Times, and may include hotels that have since gone under contract.
