RICHMOND, Va. -- After a four-year run that got off to a tough start with an untimely opening at the dawn of the pandemic, the Charlottesville version of Richmond’s Quirk Hotel has been sold to a New York buyer that plans to rebrand it later this year.
Quirk founders Katie and Ted Ukrop and an ownership group of about 30 investors sold the 80-room hotel in downtown Charlottesville to Blue Suede Hospitality Group, a 2-year-old firm based in New York City.
The four-story building near Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall sold Monday for $24 million, according to the city assessor’s office.
