US: Hotel management and investment company Highgate has launched Highgate Select, a new division focused on the management and development of select service, limited service and extended stay hotels.
The company says the new platform is grounded in its “experience as an owner/operator, which translates into a platform built to maximise operational efficiencies, distribution and scale”.
Led by COO of Highgate Select, Rob Dann, the newly formed group will oversee a portfolio of 400 owned and/or operated hotels across 33 US states. Dann is supported by a multidisciplinary executive team with an average of 30 years of hospitality experience. Within the division, emphasis is placed on empowering GMs to take ownership of their hotels by extending lines of communication, including transparency and exposure to executive leadership.
Highgate Select offers 24/7 revenue optimisation monitoring along with targeted digital campaigns.
“With the underpinning of the incredible team and infrastructure we have built, we’re focusing significant time and resources on Highgate Select, allowing us to deliver a best-in-class value proposition to our owners, partners and associates, at just the right time,” said Dann, “This experienced leadership team is uniquely equipped to offer a flat line operating structure that is conducive to real-time decision making, and that empowers GMs to be the owners of this space, with the support of a scaled and technologically proficient organisation.”
With the recent addition of 123 La Quinta by Wyndham hotels across 19 states, Highgate has become one of the largest private owners/operators in the select service, limited service, and extended stay space.
