We create long-term value in our properties by skillfully identifying individual market recovery opportunities and by executing aggressive asset management and hotel repositioning strategies, which include: (i) rebranding, (ii) capital improvements, and (iii) installing experienced, professional hotel management.
Design & Construction
Studies have shown that the Upscale, Upper Upscale, and Luxury segments of the hotel chain scale offer the best investment characteristics because they are usually complex properties that are not easy to replicate and they have consistently higher growth in occupancy and average daily rates. In our rebranding situations, we have identified that Wyndham®, Hilton®, Marriott®, and Intercontinental® have outstanding products in the Upscale, Upper Upscale, and Luxury chain scale segments.
To comply with their high quality brand standards, our hotel design and construction teams make exciting capital improvements that incorporate comfortable bedding packages, hi-definition entertainment systems, luxurious room décor, and refreshing bathroom facilities in the guest rooms, along with modern technological advances like self-service check-in kiosks, business service areas, wireless internet access, and cell phone charging stations in our hotel lobbies and meeting areas.
Professional Management
Our hotels are managed and operated by Expotel Hospitality Services, LLC headquartered in New Orleans, LA. Expotel is an outstanding hospitality management company committed to excellence in service resulting in maximized profitability and asset value for 14 hotel properties.

The Expotel corporate structure is deliberately compact and hands-on, without being disruptive or distracting to the operations of our hotels. Each executive is a hotel industry veteran able to provide actionable results.
