Landmark with a view: Aareal Bank finances Pullman Montparnasse Hotel in

Pari

Wiesbaden, 19 September 2025 - Aareal Bank has successfully arranged

financing for the iconic Pullman Paris Montparnasse in the French capital.

The facility, provided to a consortium of sponsors including Bain Capital,

Columbia Threadneedle Investments, and QuinSpark Investment Partners, aim

to support both the acquisition and targeted capex initiatives. Aareal Bank

acted as arranger, lender and agent for the transaction.

Located adjacent to Gare Montparnasse in the vibrant 14th Arrondissement,

the Pullman Paris Montparnasse is a flagship of the Pullman brand and a

landmark on Paris' Left Bank. Rising 34 storeys, the property offer

expansive facilities, including 957 rooms, two restaurants, a panoramic sky

bar, and over 5,000 sqm of dedicated meeting and event space.

Originally opened in 1974, the hotel underwent an extensive interior

refurbishment between 2017 and 2021, enhancing guest facilities and

significantly improving building efficiency, and now enters its next chapter

under experienced new ownership.

"This financing reinforces our strong belief in the lasting resilience and

international allure of Paris as a premier destination, while safeguarding

the long-term value of this iconic property," said Michelle Weiss, Head of

Hotel Properties at Aareal Bank AG. "By supporting capital investment into

both the guest experience and sustainability measures, we are helping ensure

the Pullman Montparnasse remains a modern hospitality landmark for decade

to come."

Marc-Olivier Assouline, Head of European Value-Add at Columbia Threadneedle

Investments, said: "This deal is a testament to the strength of our

long-standing relationship with Aareal, and we are very pleased to work with

them again on such a landmark transaction. As a specialist hotel lender,

they have shown their ability to underwrite the entire facility with

conviction and speed."

The transaction underscores Aareal Bank's continued commitment to the

hospitality sector and its support for leading sponsors in acquiring and

upgrading distinctive assets in top global destinations.

De Pardieu Brocas Maffei and Allez & Associés Notaires provided legal advice

to Aareal, while HVS conducted the valuation of the property.
