LaSalle selling D.C. area hotel

Hilton Alexandria Old Town

LaSalle Hotel Properties will sell the Hilton Alexandria Old Town for about $93 million to an undisclosed buyer. LaSalle bought the 246-room hotel in 2004 for $59 million and renovated it in 2006 and 2007.

Announcing the sale on Monday, LaSalle said it expects the transaction to close later this month. Proceeds will be used to help pay off unsecured loans.

LaSalle will then own 45 hotels in 14 markets.
