Targeted, Strategic GROWTH

Our commitment to strategic growth has resulted in the development, construction or acquisition of over 60 premier hotels together with affiliated companies, with plans for continued nationwide expansion. We are an established firm with a proven track record of success. 

Knowing WHAT TO LOOK FOR

We believe that part of our success comes from knowing what to look for and when to act. We are always looking for unique opportunities to acquire or develop and build new hotels together with affiliated companies. Our focus is on properties that meet the following Summit Group "success potential" criteria:

  • High barriers to market entry by future competitors
  • Assets with potential for strong risk-adjusted returns

  • Focus on an aggressive direct sales approach in our hotels
  • Provide industry-leading sales training to our managers
  • Provide an environment that challenges our associates and rewards their success
  • Achieve impressive margins through efficient management and cost containment
