Gaylord to 're-examine' Aurora hotel & convention center
Gaylord Entertainment Co. has agreed to sell the Gaylord Hotels brand and rights to manage its four hotels to Marriott International Inc., and says it won't pursue a new hotel and convention center in Aurora "in the form previously anticipated." The company said it will no longer view large-scale development as a means for growth and will "re-examine" how the project could be completed with minimal financial commitment by Gaylord during the current development cycle. Marriott will buy Gaylord's exiting hotels for $210 million cash. Following ithe sale, Gaylord will continue to own its hotel properties and other businesses and will reorganize as a real estate investment trust - the only lodging REIT focused primarily on group-oriented destination hotels in urban and resort markets.
