Sara's Inn


Houston, TX   Offered for sale at $1,250,000
 

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a premier boutique hospitality property featuring two established and highly recognizable Houston brands: SARA'S INN, one of Houston's most respected boutique inns, and THE BELAMOUR, an elegant event venue specializing in weddings, celebrations, and private gatherings. Together, these complementary businesses create a diversified hospitality platform with multiple revenue streams and opportunities for continued growth.

For 40+ years, Sara's Inn has welcomed travelers from around the world while building an exceptional reputation for charm, hospitality, and repeat business. Located in the desirable Houston Heights neighborhood, known for its walkability, and only minutes from Downtown Houston, the property offers guests a unique alternative to traditional hotels with the character of a beautifully restored historic Victorian home.

Sara’s Inn features 14 individually designed guest rooms and suites with private en-suite bathrooms. Guests appreciate the walkable location near acclaimed restaurants, shopping, parks, and Houston's major business and medical districts.

The Belamour has established itself as an intimate venue for weddings, baby and bridal showers, and special events. The addition of The Belamour provides meaningful revenue diversification while creating valuable cross-marketing opportunities with Sara's Inn, allowing event clients to seamlessly book guest accommodations simultaneously.

For a new owner with culinary experience, there is the potential to have a 3rd revenue stream by serving breakfast and providing food in-house for events. The business has a commercially licensed kitchen that is currently not being utilized given changes in staffing that occurred in 2021. Prior to 2021 breakfast was served to guests, resulting in higher room rates and this could easily be added back by a new owner.

GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
A new owner has numerous opportunities to build upon the strong foundation that has been established over the past four decades, including:
• Reintroducing a premium breakfast program using the existing commercial kitchen to increase average daily room rates.
• Offering in-house catering for weddings, showers, corporate meetings, and private events.
• Developing corporate partnerships with nearby medical institutions, businesses, and relocation companies.
• Introducing premium guest experiences, seasonal packages, and curated local partnerships.
• Expanding social media marketing and leveraging the property's excellent online reputation to increase occupancy and event bookings.

INCLUDED IN THE SALE
• Sara's Inn boutique hospitality business
• The Belamour event venue business
• All furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E)
• Existing reservation systems and operating procedures
• Established websites and social media accounts
• Brand names, trademarks (if applicable), and goodwill
• Existing customer databases
• Future reservations and event bookings
• Training and transition assistance

A RARE OPPORTUNITY
Boutique hospitality properties with 40+ years of successful operation rarely become available. Sara's Inn and The Belamour have earned strong recognition throughout Houston and benefit from a reputation that would take years for a new competitor to establish. Combined with an irreplaceable Houston Heights location, this offering represents a unique opportunity to acquire an established hospitality business with substantial upside for an engaged owner-operator.

The business has experienced staff in place, providing a smooth transition while offering a new owner numerous opportunities to increase revenue.

Sales price is for the business only with the option to purchase the real estate within the next 5 years.

The current business is operated owner absentee so please do not contact the business directly. For any inquires please direct them to the owner at JD@saras.com.
