Hospitality Ventures Management Group (HVMG), an Atlanta-based, private hotel investment, ownership and management company, in a joint venture with Investra, a private equity real estate investor and asset manager, today announced the completed acquisition of a two-hotel portfolio in Bentonville, Ark., for an undisclosed sum.  HVMG, which has operated the hotels for five years on behalf of previous ownership, also will manage the 78-room TownePlace Suites by Marriott Bentonville Rogers and the 130-room Candlewood Suites Rogers/Bentonville and oversee the hotel renovations.

“Our familiarity with these hotels and markets provided us with firsthand knowledge of the strength and upside potential of these assets,” said Robert S. Cole, president and CEO, HVMG.  “We maintain an aggressive appetite to expand our portfolio and continue to seek out best-in-class partners like Investra to pursue our acquisition and management growth goals.”
