Development Partnerships

Various ownership partners in the Greenwood portfolio have engaged in their first hotel development projects including:

"We are currently in design to convert about half of the building into an upper upscale hotel with multiple food & beverage outlets... and have retained Greenwood Hospitality as our management company. Their staff, skills and experience certainly position them in the top tier of hotel management companies. But, what set them apart for us is their level of personal commitment, their creativity and dedication to facilitating a great guest experience... we are honored to have them as members of our team."

“We are fortunate to have Greenwood Hospitality join our team in restoring The Camino Real to its former glory.

The Greenwood corporate team has been available at every turn of this significant undertaking.”

"Tom's relationship with Marriott was instrumental in Reikart House being awarded a Tribute Collection franchise. Bill's expertise in food and beverage was invaluable in conceptualizing and executing the dining experience within the hotel. The Reikart House has been open for barely a month, but we can't say enough about Greenwood Hospitality's performance so far."

“I interviewed a number of high profile management companies during our search to identify an operator for the hotel. From the start, the Greenwood team checked all the boxes. During the development process Greenwood’s collaboration, experience and willingness to do whatever necessary was evident. Their services stretched from brand messaging, operational programming, OS&E development, staffing, restaurant concepting and a myriad of other functions. I would not hesitate in recommending Greenwood as a valued member for those seeking a hospitality management partner.”
