Transaction closes for two Four Seasons resorts, including a rare on-property Disney World hotel sale

Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort has been sold as part of a $1.1 billion transaction that also included the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole in Wyoming. The seller, Host Hotels & Resorts, said the Orlando hotel has 444 rooms and the Jackson Hole property has 125 rooms.

Host said it acquired the two resorts in 2021 and 2022 for a combined $925 million. The company described the sale as part of its portfolio activity following its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 reporting period, with the dispositions occurring in February 2026.

How Host characterized the pricing and investment rationale

In announcing the sale, Host reported that the $1.1 billion price represented a 14.9x multiple of trailing twelve-month EBITDA. Host also said that the metric incorporates approximately $88 million of estimated capital expenditures that would otherwise have been needed over the next five years for the two hotels.

The transaction drew attention in real-estate and hospitality circles because hotel assets located on Walt Disney World property change hands infrequently. Four Seasons Resort Orlando is among the luxury hotels operating within Disney’s broader resort footprint, and it is positioned in the Golden Oak area near the theme parks.

What is and is not included in the deal

Host stated that an Orlando condominium development tied to Four Seasons-branded residences was excluded from the transaction. In prior company updates, Host has described progress on Four Seasons-branded and managed residences adjacent to the resort and noted that sales efforts began in November 2024, resulting in commitments for nearly one-third of the units at that time.

Key confirmed facts about the assets

  • Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort: 444 rooms.

  • Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole: 125 rooms.

  • Total sale price for both properties: $1.1 billion; closings reported in February 2026.

  • Combined purchase price paid by Host in 2021–2022: $925 million.

What remains undisclosed

Host’s announcement detailed the pricing framework and room counts but did not provide property-level sale prices for Orlando and Jackson Hole separately, nor did it outline any operational changes expected at either resort following the ownership transfer. The buyer’s forward plans for the Orlando asset were not included in the company’s release.

Host reported the sale as part of its February 2026 portfolio activity and framed the pricing in relation to trailing EBITDA and expected future capital needs.
