Comfort Inn Orlando Sold for $10.49M in Kabani Deal

Kabani Hotel Group recently sold the six-story, 112-room Comfort Inn International Drive in Orlando, Florida, for $10.49 million, or $93,660 per key.

  • Comfort Inn International Dr., a six-story, 112-room hotel in Orlando, sold for $10.49 million.
  • Kabani Hotel Group, led by CEO Ahmed Kabani, brokered the deal—their third Orlando sale this year.
  • The hotel is near Disney World, Universal, ICON Park and the convention center.

COMFORT INN INTERNATIONAL Drive in Orlando, a six-story, 112-room property, was recently sold for $10.49 million, reflecting a price per key of $93,660 and a room revenue multiplier of more than four times. Kabani Hotel Group brokered the deal, led by CEO and founder Ahmed Kabani, with partners Suraj Dalal and Kian McLean.

The property is located in an Orlando submarket near Disney World, Universal Orlando, ICON Park, and the Orange County Convention Center, the statement said.


Dalal said this was their third hotel sale in Orlando this year.

“We know the Orlando market well, especially International Drive,” he said.

This marks Kabani Hotel Group’s 12th hotel transaction of 2025 and reflects its activity as an advisor in Florida’s hospitality investment market.

Kabani secured a buyer and closed the deal with defeasance of an existing CMBS loan, as the new owner plans renovations to improve operations and meet local tourism demand, the company said in a statement.

“Our team takes pride in navigating complex transactions, and this closing shows how we add value through execution,” said Kabani. “We’re pleased to have delivered a strong outcome for our client and look forward to the new ownership’s success in this high-demand market.”

“This transaction is a clear example of how critical buyer relationships are in today’s challenging capital markets environment,” said McLean. “From managing the defeasance process to keeping the deal on track through shifting financing terms, we identified and secured a buyer with the strength and certainty to close, showcasing the depth of our investor network and execution capabilities.”

Separately, Kabani brokered the $7.91 million sale of the 147-room Wyndham Garden Tallahassee Capitol in Florida at $53,844 per key.
