Dream Hotel Group landed a $56 million loan for a Midtown commercial portfolio that includes the — what else — Dream Midtown hotel.

The loan covers 200, 204 and 210 West 55th Street, according to records filed with the city on Thursday. It replaces a $55 million Ladder Capital loan from 2013. Loancore Capital assumed the $52.25 million of outstanding debt on the properties and provided a $3.75 million gap mortgage.
The Dream Hotel, at 210 West 55th Street, is a 13-story property at the corner of Broadway.  The building’s penthouse is home to a 2,500-square-foot rooftop lounge called PHD Terrace. Restaurant and club operator TAO Group operates PHD Terrace as well as two other bars in the property: cocktail and wine bar The Rickery and lounge/arcade game emporium FISHBOWL.
