LOS ANGELES - Rezul -- Sonnenblick-Eichner Company has arranged $22.6 million of first mortgage leasehold financing on behalf of Valencia Hotel Group to refinance its Hotel Valencia Riverwalk, a 12-story, 213-room, full-service luxury hotel, on the River Walk in downtown San Antonio, TX.

The AAA-rated, Four Diamond property, part of the Valencia Hotel Collection, features 9,841 square feet of meeting and event space, a fitness center, an interior open-air courtyard and al fresco dining overlooking the San Antonio River.

"We had tremendous lender interest in this financing opportunity and ultimately closed a five-year fixed-rate loan which was sized to a low debt yield for a hotel encumbered by a ground lease," said Sonnenblick-Eichner Principal David Sonnenblick.

"The loan refinanced a maturing 10-year loan that we originally placed on the property.  The debt markets are extremely liquid for both fixed- and floating-rate hotel loans, as evidenced by the level of interest we experienced on this transaction and other hotel loans that we are marketing," added Patrick Brown, also a Principal of Sonnenblick-Eichner Company.
