 Company Description

VESTA HOSPITALITY

Vesta Hospitality is quickly becoming recognized as one of America's most innovative young Management Companies, adding to their Portfolio carefully, one property at a time. Their outstanding and unique properties have all become award-winning trendsetters, not only leaders in their market, but award-winners in their particular brands.

The Vesta Hospitality Portfolio of Hotels, includes properties from Hilton, Marriott, Carlson Hotels, and Six Continents. Each of these properties whether new construction or remodeled and repositioned, are unique and beautifully done, with an eye for detail which has made them winners in their marketplace.

Vesta Hospitality not only builds beautiful and creatively fresh properties, it also has a strong commitment to build dynamic and positive high-energy Management Teams. Each Team focuses on winning, by offering guests more than they expected... great service in a genuinely friendly, warm and caring environment.

Vesta Hospitality Teams bring a diverse and rich background, with years of experience in top quality Hotel Companies, both Limited and Full-service. Each Team is different and unique as the regions of the country they are located in, the flags of the hotels they represent, and the experience that they share.

The one common thread which ties all these professionals together, is the goal of developing Teams in which every Associate is respected, encouraged and mentored. Each Associate is given the opportunity to grow and move upward within Vesta Hospitality, as far as their drive and ability will take them.

Vesta Hospitality properties, both Local and Corporate Management Teams score highly in Employee Opinion Polls, as a company that cares about its Associates, trains them well, and is perceived as a company that offers upward mobility. These Surveys are conducted yearly on each property, by an independent company.

Vesta Hospitality is financially sound, and offers all the dynamics of a small company, where every employee personally knows the Company President. Vesta Hospitality offers to its employees, better Growth Opportunities than the older, more staid Management Companies, and yet provides a full Benefits Package.

If you are a Hotel Professional, or are considering a Job in the Hotel profession, we strongly encourage you to carefully consider Northwest Hospitality. Ask any Vesta Associate, and they'll gladly tell you. It's a great place to go and grow your future. Unlimited possibilities await you here.

 Why People Like to Work for Us

THE VESTA STORY

Comfort. Sanctuary. Security. Our company is committed to providing this type of peace-of-mind to our guests, associates and investors. We are passionately committed to providing the most welcoming of environments for our guests; a supportive and secure place of employment for our staff; and a consistent value with strong financial returns for our partners in business.

After a decade of tremendous success as Northwest Hospitality Group, our organization looked toward the future and found that what we called ourselves -- and what we do and aspire to – was no longer aligned. Our geographic reach has expanded, and our corporate personality has taken a new, more clearly defined, form. The time for change is now.

In Roman myth, Vesta is the goddess of home and hearth, whose primary responsibility was making the house a welcoming home for its occupants. This deity held a prominent place in every family’s worship rituals, with her image often integrated into the family’s house altar.

Because of the resounding synergies between the myth and our company’s reality, we are excited to now call ourselves Vesta Hospitality. The brand/name is a truer, more literal expression of who we are, and what we are proud to embrace. We feel the evolution in our corporate brand is much deeper than a surface makeover, signaling an era of renewed focus on our organizational strength: the creation of welcoming and hospitable spaces.
