WASHINGTON, DC (May 15, 2025) – Elise Capital, a mission-driven hotel investment firm, continues to build on its momentum with the acquisition of the 79-room Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. This transaction marks Elise Capital’s fourth hotel acquisition and its first Marriott-branded property, a milestone in the firm’s growing national portfolio.
“This acquisition represents a significant step for Elise Capital as we continue to expand into high-performing secondary markets with strong fundamentals,” said Kendra Plummer, Founder and CEO of Elise Capital. “The Fairfield Inn & Suites Hattiesburg is a well-located, newly renovated asset that aligns perfectly with our strategy of targeting institutional-quality hotels at attractive basis pricing.”
The fully renovated property, acquired on May 12, 2025, offers modern suites, a fitness center, indoor pool, complimentary breakfast, and guest laundry services. It is strategically located near major demand generators including the University of Southern Mississippi, Forest General Hospital, and Camp Shelby, making it well-positioned to capture a diverse mix of corporate, government, and leisure travelers.
This transaction marks Elise Capital’s second hotel in Southern Mississippi and reinforces its commitment to building a strong regional presence in the Southeast.
“As market dynamics shift and new acquisition windows open, we remain committed to executing our long-term vision,” added Plummer. “We’re particularly proud to add a Marriott brand to our portfolio—one that brings brand equity, operational stability, and performance resilience. With each acquisition, we’re not only growing assets under management but also expanding opportunities for our investor community.”
Elise Capital continues to identify opportunities in a market environment shaped by tightened lending and shifting ownership structures. The firm’s disciplined approach, diverse investor base, and educational ethos position it to thrive while fostering a more inclusive future for hotel ownership.
