KSL Capital Partners LLC

KSL Capital Partners LLC is a specialized private equity and alternative credit firm focused exclusively on investments in the travel and leisure industry, operating across three complementary strategies: equity, private credit, and tactical opportunities. The firm targets businesses in five primary verticals — hospitality, recreation, clubs, real estate, and travel services — deploying capital across a wide range of transaction sizes and capital structures, from asset-level acquisitions to large-scale platform investments. Transaction types include leveraged buyouts, corporate divestitures, distressed asset acquisitions, growth equity investments, private credit facilities, and strategic partnership capital transactions. KSL applies a deep operational heritage, having been founded by investment professionals with direct experience operating travel and leisure businesses, and embeds operational specialists alongside portfolio company management teams. KSL Capital Partners is the successor investment vehicle to KSL Recreation Corporation, a former KKR portfolio company, and traces its operational roots to 1992. Founded in 2005, the firm is headquartered in Denver, Colorado, United States, with additional offices in Stamford, Connecticut, New York, and London.
