Bidding starts at $2 million, and bidders must pony up $25,000 to participate.
Ten-X says that “prestigious international hotel brands” — including DoubleTree, Delta, Crowne Plaza, Clarion and Wyndham — have shown interest. The website describes the iconic Chicago-area resort-hotel’s 18.3-acre site as “an extraordinary lodging investment opportunity.”
The hotel includes 293 rooms and suites across 16 floors with a diverse selection of lodging accommodations.
The website says a public-private partnership “with significant Tax Increment Financing application” is under consideration by city of St. Charles officials.

The property’s upsides are considerable, including “future rebranding/conversion and potential redevelopment opportunities,” excellent accessibility in the East/West Corridor submarket and location in an affluent area with “dense demographics proximate to all primary area demand generators.”
According to an article in the Kane County Chronicle, the resort had gone into foreclosure in 2011, was bought by a group of investors in 2014 and has been managed by Schaumburg-based Hostmark Hospitality Group.
An article in the Daily Herald said Hostmark had announced plans last month to lay off nearly 150 employees as part of a restructuring.
According to the city of St. Charles website, there are also three commercial sites available across from Pheasant Run Resort. The three lots surround the Hilton Garden Inn on the east side of St. Charles and are zoned BR — Regional Business District, which allows a wide variety of retail, institutional and general uses.
“Average daily traffic counts are well above 40,000 VPD, so you have excellent exposure at this location,” the city website says of those lots. “There is also a wide variety of retail and restaurant choices nearby and the Hilton Garden Inn has above industry average occupancy rates.”
The lots are located in the Pheasant Run Crossing development adjacent to the Hilton Garden Inn on Route 64 (Main St./North Ave.) in St. Charles. The development is directly across the street from Pheasant Run Resort.
