Sage Hospitality Group has partnered with Miami-based CL Hotels, a hotel ownership and investment group with more than 20 years of experience acquiring and managing real estate investments. The partnership brings three lifestyle hotels into the Sage management portfolio: Hotel La Jolla (San Diego), The Coachman Hotel (Lake Tahoe, Calif.) and Circa 39 Hotel (Miami Beach, Fla.).This partnership marks the beginning of a long-term collaboration between the two organizations.
“We’re incredibly excited to be joining forces with CL Hotels with the addition of these three dynamic properties in high-profile markets,” Daniel del Olmo, president and co-CEO of Sage Hospitality Group, said in a statement. “We believe that great outcomes begin with great partners—and this strategic relationship reflects our continued commitment to delivering operational excellence and maximizing returns for our stakeholders while creating compelling guest experiences. We look forward to bringing our vision – which is to redefine how the world experiences hospitality – to life at these hotels.”
With this partnership, Sage continues to expand its footprint in both Florida and California and showcases its expertise in experiential hospitality in sought-after resort destinations. Hotel La Jolla and The Coachman will be joining a number of California hotels in Sage’s portfolio, including Hotel Per La, The Pierside Hotel and The Lodge at Sonoma. Circa 39 represents a growing focus on the Southeastern U.S. for Sage, following the investment in One Ocean Resort in 2024 and the addition of The Ann Savannah and Hotel De La Poste in New Orleans earlier this year.
“Each of these hotels represents a unique asset within highly competitive markets, and selecting the right operating partner was a critical decision,” said Joao Woiler, managing partner of CL Hotels.
“Sage stood out for their disciplined approach, focus on operational excellence, restaurant expertise and proven ability to elevate distinctive properties," Clemente Beda, managing partner of CL Hotels, added. "Their track record in both urban and resort destinations made them the clear choice to help us maximize long-term value while preserving the character of each hotel.”
Sage will oversee all operations at three hotels, with support from Sage Restaurant Concepts, its culinary arm, on food and beverage operations at Hotel La Jolla and The Coachman Hotel. Details about the hotels include:
- Hotel La Jolla, A Curio Collection Hotel: Originally opened in 1972 and reimagined in 2024, Hotel La Jolla is a 110-room coastal retreat located in San Diego.
