JLL’s Hotels & Hospitality Group, as sole and exclusive agent for the owner, has
been retained to offer for sale the fee simple interest in the 100-room Holiday Inn &
Suites Philadelphia West - Drexel Hill and Drexelbrook Event Centerl (together, the
“Property”), an IHG-branded select-service hotel located at 5400 Ferne Blvd in Drexel
Hill, Pennsylvania. Added in 2019 to complement a hospitality landmark dating
to 1950, the Hotel is directly connected to the historic Drexelbrook Event Center,
a 45,000-square-foot banquet, wedding, and conference facility that has hosted
multiple generations of families and notable figures including President George W.
Bush and television icon Dick Clark. This connection gives the Property an unusually
strong group and catering demand base relative to a typical limited-service asset.
Situated in Upper Darby Township within the Philadelphia West Suburbs submarket,
the Hotel benefits from proximity to Center City Philadelphia, a dense cluster of
colleges and universities, growing healthcare and life sciences demand, and direct
access to regional highway and public transit infrastructure.
The Hotel’s direct connection to the 45,000-square-foot Drexelbrook Event Center,
a venue that has served the tri-state area for over 75 years and earned recognition
as a Philadelphia Wedding’s Editor’s Choice Award winner, represents a significant
competitive differentiator, driving substantially higher food and beverage and event
revenue than typical select-service competitors while offering strategic flexibility to
either continue integrated operations or separate and lease the facility to a third-party
operator.
The Hotel is positioned within a high-barrier Philadelphia West Suburbs submarket
where the upscale and upper-midscale segment, the Property’s direct competitive
set, posted 62.0% occupancy, $156 ADR, and $97 RevPAR on a trailing twelve-month
basis as of August 2026, with zero hotels under construction and only 107 rooms
delivered in the past twelve months. With Drexel Hill experiencing meaningful
reinvestment including the $100 million Drexeline Town Center redevelopment and
Delaware County Community College’s $66.5 million campus expansion, combined
with Philadelphia’s 250th anniversary celebrations currently underway in 2026, six
FIFA World Cup matches scheduled at Lincoln Financial Field, and a diversified life
sciences and healthcare corporate base, the Property offers compelling cash flow
with substantial upside potential.
