At the time of acquisition, we added 18 high-quality urban and resort assets with nearly 6,000 rooms that are affiliated with premier brands such as Marriott, Hyatt and Hilton in key markets such as San Francisco, San Diego, Miami, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago and Denver. With an average 2018 RevPAR of $193, or $19 higher than Park’s 2018 portfolio RevPAR, the addition of the Chesapeake portfolio would have improved our 2018 average RevPAR by $3. The Chesapeake portfolio also complemented our legacy Park portfolio by enhancing our already strong foundation for long-term growth through increased scale and diversification. This enhanced scale allowed us to be added to the S&P MidCap 400 index, providing stockholders increased liquidity as well as the stability of a strong institutional investor base. We firmly believe this acquisition provides us with multiple benefits that will drive long-term stockholder value. On the dispositions front, we continued our strategic approach to recycling capital in 2019. We sold or otherwise disposed of nine assets throughout the year, JW Marriott San Francisco Union Square recycling capital out of lower-growth and non-strategic markets and drastically reducing our international footprint. The November 2019 sale of our interest in the Conrad Dublin, for example, achieved the task of reducing both our international footprint as well as our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, which do not provide us with the same operational control to effect change. Taking advantage of strong buyer interest, we sold two assets from the newly-acquired Chesapeake portfolio during the fourth quarter, which when combined with the disposal of seven legacy Park assets allowed us to quickly reduce our corporate leverage back to 4.2x Pro-forma Net Debt to Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA by the end of the year (assuming the Chesapeake acquisition occurred on January 1, 2019), firmly within our stated target range of 3.0x – 5.0x Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA. Continuing this trend, we sold our sole remaining international hotel, the Hilton Sao Paulo Morumbi, along with another legacy Park hotel in the first quarter of 2020, realizing very attractive multiples as a result of strong inbound investor interest. In total, our efforts since our spin-off from Hilton have resulted in significant portfolio transformation, with a total of 24 hotels comprising approximately 6,500 rooms sold or disposed of for over $1.2 billion in pro rata proceeds. We anticipate continuing to pursue non-core asset sales within the framework of our larger strategic goals and stockholder priorities.
