Rockpoint and Newbond Acquire Hotel Maren Fort Lauderdale, Curio Collection by Hilton
Rockpoint, a Boston-based real estate private equity firm, has partnered with Newbond Holdings to acquire the Hotel Maren Fort Lauderdale, part of the Curio Collection by Hilton. The 12-story oceanfront property features 141 guestrooms and is located in the Fort Lauderdale Beach submarket near Las Olas Boulevard. Built in 2021 on a waterfront parcel, it offers amenities such as an oceanfront pool, dining options, retail spaces, meeting areas, and fitness facilities. Both firms aim to enhance the hotel's offerings through targeted improvements focused on guest experience and public areas. This acquisition builds upon their prior collaboration, including the recent purchase of the Westin Tampa Waterside in September 2025. Rockpoint emphasizes a value-driven investment strategy targeting underpriced or misunderstood assets with strong long-term fundamentals. Newbond Holdings is described as an integrated real estate and hospitality platform that leverages creative structuring to create additional value beyond traditional investments.
