“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.
