Our management philosophy at all levels is sales driven and we pride ourselves in our ability to exceed our potential market share everywhere we do business. Since developing our first hotel in 1985, First Hospitality Group has built a rapidly growing company on a rock solid reputation for developing and operating first rate hotels. We credit that success to adherence to a common set of values. First, we believe that nothing happens until you sell something. Our management philosophy at all levels is sales driven and we pride ourselves in our ability to exceed our potential market share everywhere we do business. Our Stategy Our strategy is fulfillment on all corners. Since 1985, we have been an award-winning pioneer in the hospitality industry. We have successfully developed, marketed and managed a host of different properties across the country. We know the industry and we know the players. Through our deep-rooted relationships with key leaders in the hotel, restaurant and finance communities, we collaborate on each project to maximize and achieve the profit potential for each site. At First Hospitality Group, our mission is simple: to respect and serve the needs of our three principal constituencies - our investors, our associates and our guests. In doing so, we provide a broad based, experienced supervisory staff focused on achieving all of our goals: exceptional financial returns, well-trained and motivated associates, and superior levels of guest satisfaction. Our outstanding track record has been achieved through an uncompromising and consistent dedication to these goals. With over half of our managed properties owned by our company and its principals, we approach our day-to-day activities with this entrepreneurial ownership perspective. The results speak for themselves. Our Strengths Our executive staff combines over 300 years of hotel management experience covering a full spectrum of categories, ranging from first-class to economy, and suburban to city center. The strength of First Hospitality Group lies in our ability to implement the critical process that will assure the greatest success for each hotel. By operating with fewer layers, our internal corporate structure allows us to be more responsive to our clients' needs. Our efficient size ensures accessibility, results in effective communication, and assures timely results. When a hotel is to be built, we begin by implementing a comprehensive pre-opening program. From the beginning, we manage the necessary research, design, contracting, staffing, marketing, operating and accounting systems. Through our experience, affiliates and contacts, our team stays current with the newest operating techniques, the latest marketing programs, and one of the most innovative food and beverage directions in the industry. This permits us to cross-pollinate ideas and methods, and adopt the most appropriate systems for each hotel. When combined with the strong history of our key principles as owners in their own right, our company's foundation gives us the unique viewpoint of an owner. This allows us to reason and react like an owner, with the primary objective of producing the maximum bottom line consistent with the preservation of the hotel asset itself. Because nothing happens until you sell something, we've developed our own proprietary sales training and marketing programs. These programs combine national franchise programs with our own corporate programs such as The Executive Express Club. Together, they allow First Hospitality Group to maximize the revenues and value of each hotel.
