Business Development
Learn More About Our Philosophy
Destination was founded in 1972, and has grown to become one of the nation's largest operators of independent hotels, resorts and conference centers. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Lowe, Destination is part of a diversified vertically integrated firm active in hospitality property investment, management and development.
We are actively seeking new management opportunities and acquisitions and have an Acquisitions team in Denver that will provide the responsiveness and capital resources the industry demands. To inquire further, please contact us.
Management Services
A critical part of our success is
Destination Hotels & Resorts' decentralized philosophy of on-property,
entrepreneurial management teams. Each team has the autonomy to respond to
local market conditions while operating within the Destination culture. The
property general manager's duty is not the expansion or promotion of a chain of
hotels, but the success of the individual property.
We pride ourselves on having built one of the industry's most comprehensive,
professional and cost-effective property support programs. This means providing
a full range of support services designed to enhance the efficiency of each
property:
- Pre-opening and ongoing marketing support
- Guest satisfaction and associate opinion surveys
- Accounting and financial reporting
- Internal audits
- IT infrastructure, including wide area network and Intranet site
- On-property IT and systems support
- Human resources, recruiting, and training
- Compensation and benefit programs, and administration
- Insurance and risk management
- Cooperative purchasing
Acquisitions and Investments
Destination Hotels & Resorts is one of the top hotel investment and independent hotel management companies in the United States, with results that have consistently bested industry averages. Much of this success is a direct result of our focus on investor returns, individual assets, and aligning management with the individual needs of owners. Our combination of strong capitalization through Lowe Enterprises, and a strong track record of experience offer a level of credibility that is nearly unmatched in the industry. We are aggressively seeking new properties, and feel that our centralized operation of business in Denver offers the very type of responsiveness, professionalism and capital resources the industry has been seeking.
