 “With the addition of these three hotels, HVMG remains on track to maintain 20% annualized growth,” said Robert Cole, president and chief executive officer. 

 

 “Year-to-date, we continue to outperform our competitors, providing additional value to our owners.  HVMG’s year-to-date RevPAR Index exceeds 110% up 3.5% YTD.  Our market share premium coupled with how much of the increase in total revenue flowed to GOP line has driven incremental asset value of hotels under management by approximately $60 million over the trailing 12-month period.”

 

The three new hotels include:

 

1.         The 30-unit (22 four-bedroom villas and eight single unit hotel rooms) Islands of Islamorada in Islamorada, Fla.

2.         The 158-suite Homewood Suites St. Louis Galleria in Richmond Heights, Mo.

3.         The 128-suite TownePlace Suites Brentwood in Brentwood, Mo.
