Has entered into a sale and purchase agreement to sell Lilianfels Blue Mountains, its 85 key hotel in Katoomba, New South Wales, Australia, to an undisclosed buyer for AUD 21 million (US$ 19.3 million).
Paul White, President and Chief Executive Officer of Orient-Express Hotels said, "This is further execution of our ongoing strategy to dispose of non-core businesses and brings the total proceeds realized in 2009 to over $105 million. We are delighted that this transaction, which represents 17 times the hotel's 2007 EBITDA and 23 times its 2008 EBITDA, once again underlines the value of properties in the Orient-Express portfolio."
