Marcus & Millichap has brokered the sale of a Holiday Inn Express hotel in Arlington Heights, Illinois, transferring the 111-room property between private investor groups. The six-story hotel is located at 2111 S. Arlington Heights Road on a 1.17-acre site, roughly 10 miles from O’Hare International Airport in the northwest suburban Chicago market.
The buyer plans a comprehensive interior renovation program in the coming months. According to Ebrahim Valliani, managing director of investments with Marcus & Millichap, the planned work will upgrade the guest rooms and common areas. The repositioning is intended to strengthen the hotel’s competitive posture within the O’Hare submarket, where it serves a mix of corporate, medical and leisure demand.
Valliani and colleague Michael Klar, both investment specialists in Marcus & Millichap’s Chicago Oak Brook office, held the exclusive listing to market the Holiday Inn Express on behalf of the seller. In addition to sourcing the buyer, also a private investor group, the team received further transaction support from Allan Miller and Chris Gomes of the Miller-Gomes Hotel Team.
The property is described as benefiting from strong demand drivers tied to its location in the northwest suburbs of Chicago and its proximity to O’Hare International Airport. The hotel offers a meeting room, fitness center, breakfast area and airport shuttle service, amenities that cater to both business and leisure travelers drawn to the airport and nearby corporate and medical facilities.
While the parties to the transaction were not named, the deal underscores ongoing private investor activity in branded select-service hotels near major transportation nodes. With an established Holiday Inn Express flag and a defined renovation plan, the property is positioned to compete for a broad base of travelers in the O’Hare-adjacent lodging market once upgrades are complete.
