Keshav Management has acquired the 127-key Hyatt Place Pensacola Airport, marking the company’s first acquisition within the Hyatt brand.

Savannah, Ga.-based Keshav Management acquired the property from Innisfree Hotels in a deal facilitated by HREC Investment Advisors.

HREC Investment Advisors represented Gulf Breeze, Fla.-based Innisfree Hotels in the transaction. The marketing and negotiations were led by Michael Salloway, SVP in Atlanta; Tammy Bateman-Nilsen, SVP in Orlando; Paul Sexton, principal and broker of record for Florida; and George Davis, senior associate in Denver.
