–The

InterContinental Hong Kong was named the winner of the Single Asset Transaction

of the Year Award by the Hotel Investment Conference Asia Pacific (HICAP),

October 19-21 in Hong Kong. HICAP is Asia’s largest and longest running hotel

investment event.

According to the announcement from HICAP: “In September 2015, the iconic

InterContinental Hong Kong was acquired by Supreme Key Limited (a consortium of

investors managed by Gaw Capital) from InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) for

USD938 million. The transaction represented the largest single hotel

transaction ever in Asia Pacific and the second largest globally. The sale was

the most significant trophy hotel to have transacted in the Hong Kong market in

over a decade.” It was Gaw Capital Partners’ first separate account investment

in Asia. Since acquiring the iconic property one year ago, Gaw Capital team

has been readying the renovation, which will “kick-off” toward the end of 2017

or in early 2018.

Goodwin Gaw, Chairman and Managing Principal of Gaw Capital Partners,

said “We are delighted that the InterContinental Hong Kong, a transaction led

by Gaw Capital, received this prestigious award from HICAP. Since the

acquisition, we have creatively leveraged our experience in hotel management to

ensure that the InterContinental Hong Kong remains and thrives as a world class

hotel property; we are excited at the upcoming renovation and we have been in

touch with some of the world’s leading designers for this special renovation

project.”

Gaw Capital Partners and

its affiliates have a long history in turning around and repositioning hotels

successfully. The iconic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles, acquired by

Goodwin Gaw and his partners in 1995, has once again become a hotspot for

Hollywood’s stars and celebrities after a series of renovations. GCP

Hospitality, an operating platform for Gaw Capital Partners in the hospitality

industry, runs 23 properties in Asia and the US including flagship Hotel G

properties in Bangkok, Pattaya, Hong Kong, San Francisco, Suzhou and Shenzhen,

as well as the legendary Strand Hotel and Strand Cruise in Yangon and the

management of soon to be opened Roosevelt Macau.
