“David offered me the opportunity of a lifetime when he welcomed me into his
family business, and after 30 years it’s time to turn over the keys to a new
generation,” said Chase.
“We have a strong executive team in place, a robust development
pipeline and a very successful portfolio of owned and operated hotels that each
are market leaders. I can move into this next phase confident that our
associates, investors, partners and hotels are all well positioned for
continued prosperity."
Chase has been a dedicated industry collaborator serving on numerous brand
advisory boards as well as the board of the American Hotel & Lodging
Association and the American Hotel and Register Company.
In 2015, he was awarded the prestigious Arthur Landstreet Award,
which is presented annually to an individual who has made a lasting impact on
the quality of education and training in the hospitality industry.
