Los Angeles-based real estate finance firm Sonnenblick-Eichner Company has secured $126 million in first mortgage financing to refinance Pacifica Hotels' portfolio of seven Southern California hotels totaling 601 rooms.

The financing package comprises three- and five-year fixed-rate and non-recourse loans arranged through a Wall Street investment bank and an insurance provider.

Pacifica Hotels, known for its portfolio of coastal destination properties popular among leisure travelers, will continue managing the seven hotels. Meanwhile, Sonnenblick-Eichner remains active in the hospitality capital markets, sourcing funds for additional assets.

September’s funding cases in travel also include Understory raising $14 million in a funding round led by Smedvig Ventures and UK’s UnderTheDoormat receiving $7 million from OMRAN Group.
