“The hotel cycle is
maturing, which creates growth opportunities for experienced operators and
investors with a contrarian approach to the industry,” said David Fincannon,
COO, BSHS.
“We have accumulated
a substantial portfolio of managed and owned properties in just six months, and
we have a substantial appetite to do more.
"We currently
own and operate all 52 properties in our portfolio and now have the
infrastructure, operating systems and structure to take on third-party
management contracts.
"As we grow, we will pivot to focus predominantly on
operations on behalf of other ownership groups.
“With a C-suite encompassing more than 570 years of hotel
development, ownership and operations experience, we are well positioned to
take advantage of the current market conditions,” Fincannon added.
