About

Family-run. Hands-on. Twenty years in.

Palace Group has spent over two decades developing, renovating, and operating hotels across the Hilton, IHG, and Marriott brand families — with the same small leadership team overseeing every asset from groundbreaking to full stabilization.

Our Approach

We don't franchise our attention. Every asset gets the same owner's-eye scrutiny, whether it's under construction or ten years into stabilized operations.

Palace Hotels Hospitality Management develops, renovates, and operates hotels — building the operational discipline that lets each property compete in its market from day one. Our team carries direct, on-property experience across brand standards, revenue systems, and guest service, not just corporate oversight.
