New York, NY –– RobertDouglas announced today that it advised Meyer Jabara Hotels in the $35 million financing of the Providence Marriott Downtown. The five-year, floating rate financing was provided by ACORE Capital.

Providence is renowned as a vibrant, business‐friendly city with world‐class universities, award‐winning restaurants and an abundance of art and entertainment venues that support a dynamic year‐round base of hotel demand. The hotel, which is managed by Meyer Jabara Hotels and features 351 oversized guestrooms, state‐of‐the‐art meeting facilities and resort-like amenities, is planning a renovation of its guestrooms and corridors that will further strengthen the hotel's market position.
