据彭博社等多家媒体报道，美国当地时间3月12日，中国安邦保险公司以65亿美元向美国私募基金巨头黑石集团(Blackstone)购入奢侈酒店Strategic Hotels & Resorts。
截至发稿，双方公司尚未正式宣布该交易，不过，一旦落实，将成为中国大陆企业在美国收购的最贵酒店地产。
Strategic在美国拥有16处地产，包括华盛顿特区的四季酒店、纽约曼哈顿埃塞克斯酒店、加州的尼古湖丽思卡尔顿酒店、旧金山的威斯汀酒店等。第三方调研公司的报告显示，该公司旗下酒店至2015年6月的入住率为70.9%。
2015年12月，黑石集团以60亿美元的代价接手Strategic。美联社报道称，扣除债务后，当时实际交易价格为39.3亿美元，原本计划分拆资产后出售，却接到了安邦方面提出的全面收购要约。于是，短短三个月后，黑石就以5亿美元的溢价将Strategic转手给了安邦。
彭博社称，豪华及奢华型房地产近些年一直是最抢手的资产，部分原因是他们所处的地段和建筑成本让他们难以被取代。在美国住宿业处于长达6年的复苏阶段后期之际，尽管酒店房价和入住率增长缓慢，但市场对久负盛名的酒店依然需求强劲。
手握大把现金，海外地产项目已经是中国保险资金投资的重要标的。

The hotel is situated in a really old shanty pocket of Shanghai, but conveniently close to Sichuan North Road commercial area (shopping) and the former art district (culture including Luxun Museum etc.) and lines 4 (SH railway station convenient) and 10(?); through the latter one may reach line 2 with ease. The hotel is suitably clean for a local establishment though many of the appliances and cupboards are functionally sub-par. I stayed 2 nights and the cleaning service never came even when I asked for it which was amazing as I think I was the only guest at the hotel that time. The front desk staff are constantly asleep or look annoyed when you ask them for things (ie. cleaning service or whatever). The TV had horrible static though the internet was pretty fast. Overall, this is a hotel with a lot of potential (old building with a lot of original structures), but suffers from bad housekeeping and unprofessional general management and staff training.
