Just before the summer hot weather comes in, investors in the Triangle were very hot for hotels in May.

Of the nearly $469 million in major commercial property sales recorded in the Triangle during the month of May, nearly half were in hotel acquisitions, according to a review of deed records in Wake, Durham and Orange counties.

The Triangle – on average – may have one or two hotel properties that trade each month, but in May the market had investors paying nearly $203 million for 12 high-profile properties.
