Last week we were the first to report that Loews Hotels & Resorts is going to pay a record price for the Mandarin Oriental, and now some more details have come out. The sale of the 158-room Mandarin Oriental is expected to close at a whopping $1M per key, which would create a new record price paid on a per room basis, reports The Registry. The previous record was the $650k/room LaSalle threw down a year ago for the 200-room Hotel Vitale. We're told Loews is willing to pay top dollar because it wants assets, and when you are building a brand, which is what Loews is doing, you need certain anchors in certain cities.
