Music Makes The People Come Together

Hospitality That Strikes A Chord

As a hotel management company, we love music, so it’s deeply embedded in our culture, from the language we use to how we relate to each other as humans. We believe music is a fitting metaphor for the finely-tuned, carefully-orchestrated production that is hospitality done well.

Like the most passionate musicians, we never stop striving to improve our performance in ways big and small—fostering a culture of excellence, but also a culture of creativity and fun. We’re an enjoyable place to work, but also an excellent place to learn and grow. Which is important to us, because we invest a lot in our people, and we want you to stick around.

Do The Right Things, For The Right Reasons, In The Right Way, At The Right Time

Own The Result

Our founding principle was to create a company and a team with an owner’s mindset. That means thinking and behaving as if it’s our own skin in the game. Like we’re every bit as invested as our partners are. We are accountable for our individual and collective results. And since what gets measured gets done, we closely monitor and share key performance metrics— ensuring total transparency with our investment partners. We follow through guaranteeing we achieve the right results.
