“Leisure travel is forecast to steadily increase in 2024, with events such as LIV Golf Adelaide virtually sold out, so we are very excited about the region as a destination.”The hotel is the first asset acquired in Salter Brothers’ Core Hospitality Real Estate Fund, which is focused on newer upscale and luxury hotels with broad appeal that require little to no front-end capital expenditure.
