What We Are

We are a partnership driven firm dedicated to growing hospitality brands and assets

As a white label management company, we are able to support any brand or asset.
We build growth based upon sound business principles and by providing support in the following fields:

Structured Capital

 Strategic Edge

Operational Excellence

Each asset is managed by a Resident Operating Partner with years of experience and a successful operating track record. Each operating system is customized for the specific asset and supported by the general partnership.

Real Estate Programming

Responding to the ever-changing commercial real estate landscape, HF is focused on building mutually beneficial partnership-like deals with developers, hotel owners, and commercial real estate owners. 

Structured Capital

Based on conservative models, we create exciting investment opportunities. Because of the advantageous lease and joint venture deal economics, we are able to achieve structures with low capital demand, offering limited exposure and significant upside.
