LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 11, 2013) - The Rubicon Companies announced today that its affiliate acquired the Hacienda Hotel in El Segundo in the Los Angeles basin for an undisclosed amount from a private family that had owned it for approximately 40 years. With 640 guest rooms, the Hacienda is the 10th largest hotel in Los Angeles County.

"The Hacienda represents the kind of special situation that Rubicon focuses on, where we can bring both capital and our skill sets to create value for our investors," said Marc Gordon, founder and Principal of the Rubicon Companies.

In the future, we will renovate and reposition the hotel to create an even better experience for our guests while delivering attractive returns for our investors."

The hotel features over 25,000 square feet of flexible meeting and banquet space; the highly regarded Carrasco's Restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner; the Double H Sports Bar and the Double H Dance Club; and a heated pool and spa services.
