Two familiar neighbors to Philadelphia International Airport are looking for new ownership. The 136-room Aloft Philadelphia Airport and the 177-room Four Points by Sheraton Philadelphia Airport have hit the market after roughly 11 years in New York-based Lightstone Group’s hands, putting a pair of franchise-branded, airport-adjacent hotels in play as the city gears up for a packed 2026 events calendar.
What’s on the market
Lightstone has officially put the Aloft and Four Points up for sale after an 11-year hold, according to Philadelphia.Today. That outlet, citing reporting in the Philadelphia Business Journal, notes that Lightstone bought the two properties in December 2014 and entered into 20-year franchise agreements that kept both flags in Marriott’s portfolio.
The seller and the price paid
Public filings confirm the timeline and the original price tag. Lightstone acquired the airport portfolio in December 2014, and an SEC 8-K filed at the time lists a base purchase price of $25 million, plus up to $5 million in contingent consideration. That put the potential closing consideration near $30 million. The same filings identify Starwood as the seller in the 2014 deal.
Performance and property details
Recent operating numbers show why the portfolio is getting a spotlight. Through the nine months ending Sept. 30, 2025, the Aloft posted roughly 67 percent occupancy, with an average daily rate of $114.74 and revenue per available room of $76.90. Over the same period, Four Points came in at about 51 percent occupancy, with an ADR of $114.64 and RevPAR of $58.20.
On the bricks-and-mortar side, the Aloft is a five-story, roughly 64,000-square-foot building that includes an indoor pool and the brand’s W XYZ Bar. Four Points, built in 1985, spans about 88,000 square feet and features a seasonal outdoor pool and the on-site Café Rusto, according to Philadelphia.Today.
Why investors may be watching
Marketing materials show that JLL has been retained as the exclusive broker and is offering the hotels either as a package or one by one, highlighting several selling points for potential buyers. The JLL team is leaning on the properties’ direct access to the airport, limited near-term new hotel supply in the immediate area and what it describes as renovation-driven upside.
The brokerage packet, last updated Feb. 19, 2026, also flags Philadelphia’s airport upgrade program and next year’s major events as potential demand tailwinds for the next owner, according to the JLL listing.
What comes next
Lightstone’s own portfolio page continues to list the Aloft as open and operating, and both hotels remain under the Marriott franchise agreements that were put in place at acquisition. A future buyer would step into those agreements unless they are renegotiated.
For now, the pair of airport hotels is being actively marketed and shown to prospective investors through JLL’s materials as the formal offering process gets underway.
