Investment Opportunity: Top-Tier Hospitality Asset in Hutchinson, Kansas
This 89-room Fairfield Inn & Suites presents a rare opportunity to acquire a high-performing asset at a competitive valuation of less than $98,000 per key. The property is meticulously maintained, featuring an owner-led PIP refresh completed in 2022 and the grand opening of a sophisticated 15,000-square-foot Conference Center in October 2025. These capital improvements position the hotel to capture significant group and corporate business in the coming years.
Consistently ranked as one of the top two lodging facilities in Hutchinson, the hotel boasts a strong financial profile with impressive top-line revenue and net income. Its reputation is further solidified by excellent ratings across major third-party travel platforms. The property enjoys a premier, high-visibility location within the region’s primary retail corridor, ensuring a steady stream of organic traffic.
Market Dynamics and Demand Generators Located just 45 minutes from Wichita’s Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport, Hutchinson serves as a vital hub for Reno County. The local economy is anchored by heavy-weight corporate entities including Kroger (Dillon’s), Tyson, and Cargill Salt, providing a reliable base of corporate room nights. Tourism remains a significant driver, with the Kansas Cosmosphere, Strataca (the Kansas Underground Salt Museum), the Kansas State Fair, and the NJCAA National Basketball Tournament drawing visitors year-round.
Future Growth and Development The investment is bolstered by aggressive local revitalization efforts. Hutchinson has secured STAR Bonds for downtown redevelopment, including enhancements to Memorial Hall and the Landmark Building. Furthermore, a proposed $450 million state-of-the-art correctional facility is currently before the 2025 legislative session. If approved, this massive infrastructure project will replace the aging facility and provide a substantial long-term boost to local economic activity and hospitality demand.
