CHICAGO-In a deal expected to close next month, affiliates of the Blackstone Group have agreed to sell the AmeriSuites brand to locally based Hyatt Corp., based in Chicago. The hotel company and New York City-based Blackstone have worked together on several occasions through management and ownership relationships of Hyatt hotels; Hyatt also owns a minority stake in Homestead Studio Suites, an extended-stay hotel company Blackstone purchased a few years ago.

Terms of the transaction have not been released. Hyatt will pick up the 143-property, all-suite, upscale limited-service hotel chain, which has some 18,000 keys in 32 US states. The deal is a strategic part of the company’s formation of Global Hyatt Corp., an umbrella company Hyatt chairman and CEO Thomas Pritzker hopes to have up and running by year’s end. The new entity will serve as the parent of Hyatt Hotels Corp., including US, Canada and Caribbean operations; Hyatt International Corp.; Hyatt Equities, the company’s ownership operations; and timeshare division Hyatt Vacation Club Inc.
