Sonesta International Hotels Corp. has agreed to buy the Chateau Sonesta Hotel in New Orleans for about $18 million.

The deal is expected to close within 60 days, Boston-based Sonesta said today.

Sonesta said it has operated the 250-room French Quarter hotel since it opened in April 1995.

The company will assume an existing first mortgage loan with a principal balance of about $13.4 million.

Sonesta, which owns hotels in the United States, Brazil, Egypt, and Peru, among other countries, plans to upgrade the New Orleans property.
